Not even Peter (who up to this point knew pretty much everything about everything) knew what it meant. So i think it's more of a sense of panic because of the unknown. The color of your eyes seems to be very important to wolves on this show because they each mean something (gold/yellow = default usually, Alpha red, blue = taken an innocent life) and so with his eyes going from blue BACK to gold it raises the question "What does this mean?"

This definitely seemed to be implied. I think along with that based off of what Braeden said in "Muted" his Blue eyes are also part of his self identity. He seems to feel that Kate in some way took something from him. I hope the writers will do a half way desent job of explaining what happened.
