Wow.. alot here! I don't think I buy into the "Denethor a myrter" theory, for if he wished to show his valiance, theree was plenty of battle to be had (note Theoden).
There were a fair amount of psychological warfare going on on the part of Sauron, and Sarumann though he himself was maybe unknowingly to himself a tool of Sauron.

As for Aragorn just marching into Minas Tirith and saying he was King, well, I'm sure he would have been laughed out. Instead he awaited and proved himself to be the Heir of Elendil, a very honorable way to go.

He did not relinquish his royalty in Gondor, nor intend that the realm of Elendil should be divided forever.
