First, the door opens inward. Unless pressure is equalized, even a couple feet of water is very difficult to overcome.

The water was barely coming in. He had PLENTY of time to rethink and see that it wasn't going to kill Desmond and reopen the door long before the water ever got high enough to worry about pressure differentials.

Also, Charlie was a believer in Desmond. Desmond had said previously that if his visions don't happen exactly as he sees them, they don't end the way he sees them, and Charlie was doing this specifically to save Claire. He didn't want to risk it.

I suppose I'd buy that, but it was still a pretty weak way to die.

Sleepyjeff...if they answered questions the show would be over. The whole point is to keep having questions that need to be answered. If you stop expecting answers you'll stop being disappointed.

I believe Jack referencing his father was just him being drunk and beligerent and meant to throw us off.

I have a prediction for when they get rescued (presuming the flash forward can be taken as "fact" and that they WILL be rescued. Jack's wife will be there to meet him because she's his emergency contact.
