Yeah, I think Bob tells Harry something along the lines of "Listen, Little Chicago had a major flaw, it should have burned you out when you used it, but somehow it's fixed now."
And that stuff with Lash was all stuff Harry was at least aware of.
He isn't at first. It's when he becomes aware of it and still does it that he gets further mixed up with her. You need to go back and read that stuff over again.
That is, Lash has the capability to add Hellfire to Harry's spells as he casts them. She doesn't (that we've seen) have the capability to cast fire spells without Harry realizing.
And the Calvin and Hobbes thing is a complete throw away in my books... no significance other than an odd detail. And the fact that what half a dozen books have passed since, or more, your suggestion that he's planning some Harry needs to go back and stage all these minor details so that he can survive over and over again against the odds... seems a stretch for an idea for a book and one that is pretty long coming in that Butcher has stated that he is always evolving the story of Dresden.
Dresden Files- are these subtle signs of time travel? (possible spoilers)

Butcher definitely seeds seemingly irrelevant minor details into earlier books

Yeah, but how much of that is pre-planning and how much is that Butcher

Mmm. I feel like the two details I mentioned are too deliberate for him not to have an explanation

Hm, that's pretty blunt, especially because... I'm not. At least, not like you are saying.

I just added a minor spoilers tag, though I think I've avoided any real spoilers

Also, didn't he have someone following him in one of the middle books that was never explained?

Hm... Side Jobs has him tailing Harry, but I think it's in a different case

No, the Side Jobs story "Back-up" is almost entirely self-contained
