I think he used his wife to get that laptop, because yes, it does look like it's Elena that Tariq spotted and got killed before he could spill the beans. Not sure that means Elena is a baddie, but perhaps it means someone wants it to look like she is one.

I agree with you, I also think Ilya Gavrik could well be masterminding things - he seems like a pretty cold and calculating kind of person afterall, and at the moment he's just lurking in the background. Perhaps there is no impersonator, instead Ilya (possibly with Elena's knowledge) is setting Harry up.

What he did say indicated how much it hurt him never to have contact with his son, and he's so used to burying those feelings, that it's unrealistic to expect him to suddenly bare his soul about it all at the first opportunity.

I agree here too, having Sasha and Elena back on the scene must be a pretty big shock for Harry, he's probably not sure how he feels about it all, let alone try to explain it to Ruth. Plus he'd just helped Sasha cover up a murder in backstage at the ballet so Ruth probably didn't pick the best time! So saying he's going to have to open up to Ruth soon, she's hurting and needs reassurance. I'm guessing Harry was including Ruth when he told Erin he hurts everyone he cares about, I think he knows this is tough for her but fears her judgement.

I don't think the identity of the impersonator is going to be the main story in the end. There is something bigger and nastier at play, methinks, and the impersonator thing is just the clue that will lead us there.

Not sure what Jim Coaver's involvement is (other than being totally untrustworthy) - perhaps he too was involved with Elena, making her a triple agent?!
