Yeah, that was interesting. I agree with you that Sam is different from season 4 - in season 4, he would have been defensive, because deep down he wasn't sure he was doing the right thing. Here, he seems genuinely confused. Like you, I think that Sam's experience of Hell was very different from Dean's - and yes, Lucifer's line about how he "burns cold" is a good hint...
I've seen the theory that Sam is soulless floating around, and I don't know, I don't really like it. I think I'd prefer the changes in Sam to be psychologically related. That's a matter of taste, but I also think that with the importance the show gives to the soul, Sam would be catatonic if he was soulless.
