I noticed the similarities but never thought anything serious of it. As for the Gin and Uryu thing, its hard to say, as Uryu hates shinigami, from what we know he was seemingly closer to his grandfather than his parents (although his relationship with his mother in particular was never elaborated upon) I suppose he could betray the Vandenreich and Yhwach, but whats the point, hes already the successor, he would just inherit it anyway, and that secret of the medallion. Besides, pretty sure Yhwach doesn't truly trust him that much, the Stern Ritter will seemingly attack Uryu if he messed up.

Anyway I wouldn't say Yhwach is afraid he might die, I think he's reaching the end of his lifespan. He also might just be taking a precaution and trying to preserve the Quincy, by having a better successor.

In all honesty I wouldn't be surprised if the following happens: 1) Yhwach plans to devour the Soul King via Slaverei, and or usurp the Hogyoku in some way, shape or form. Something fishy that involves him controlling the world. 2)Uryu goes all power hungry, and wants power for himself, and has a showdown with Ichigo along the road, prompting him to be the main antagonist of the series, once being an ally. Kubo has a habit of allegiance changing. Shinigami (Enemies = Allies) Aizen (Ally = Enemy) Arrancar (Enemies = seemingly allies now) Xcution (Ally = Enemy = Ally seemingly once again thanks to Ganju) Uryu ("Enemy" = Ally = Enemy supposedly) Kon (Bad, Bad Guy = Bad Good guy)
