That would be a very interesting twist! But Roman is a businessman of sorts, and killing needlessly is bad for business. It would have been a bad move to kill or hurt the shopkeeper, I think.

As for Tukson, I really don't know. Perhaps Roman wanted to send him away so he'd have something to hold over the White Fang's head if they decided to turn on him, namely information about their plans. At this point, it's just hard for me to see him as anything but a psychopath. He's good at what he does and loves it. He seems to thrive on the fear and attention his career garners. It's more likely, I think, that he's taking orders from Cinder, who does have a conscience. I don't know why, but I just can't think of her as a truly villanous villain.
