So, a couple of answers for you.

The House of Black and White, the guild hall of the Faceless Men, a group of assassins, is indeed a place where people go to die. They honor the Many Faced God, which is to say, the god of death, no matter what incarnation the particular culture takes. The people that come to the temple that are sick are seeking an end to their suffering. They go their fully aware of what it is.

The parentage of Jon Snow is one that is truthfully unknown at this point. The books still stick to the story that he is the son of Ned and an unknown woman. There are three theories as to his mother presented in the books, all with Ned being the father. However, the fan base has inferred that Ned is not the father and that R+L=J. That is to say, Rhaegar and Lyanna are the parents of Jon. This would actually make him the nephew of Daenerys. There is a little more to this familial fun fest but I'm not sure if the Show is using it or not. I'm not current as I only watch when the DVDs come out, but I don't think the show has caught up to the book where this twist takes place so we shall see.

As for the last question, I do not know, but I'd like to see more of it. Just sayin'.
