I don't think the army being there is necessarily a good thing... They had to get out of the way to let the 5 kage fight freely with Madara alone. With the entire army there, where are they going to deflect the bijuu-dama now? I suppose that Naruto has to have them there to win though based on Kishi's foreshadowing with Naruto's last encounter with Itachi --> You can't keep thinking you can do everything yourself, rely on your friends strength too, etc....
As for the Naru-Hina references, I think the comment was meant to embarrass Hinata who was standing behind them, not Naruto. Her feelings for Naruto aren't much of a secret to Konoha any more after the pain arc. However, we have yet to see Naruto even acknowledging her actions (jerk).
I see this playing out with the alliance successfully bringing the battle to a stalemate, with the Juubi slowly winning. Eventually, Sasuke and Orochimaru will do something with that scroll to make the Juubi go nuts, or summon it somewhere else so they can take control of it. This will end the battle, but will leave one more arc to deal with Sasuke and Orochimaru.
