2) I don't recall Finnick suffering clinical death. But Finnick, much like Katniss, has detached from reality. He sits around tying knots in ropes because he can't cope with what he's gone through and the knowledge that Annie has been taken by the Capitol. Katniss hides in closets to escape from her reality. Katniss has been through a lot of horrific experiences in both of the games. I won't comment on any of the Peeta stuff because well, you haven't finished the book, so yeah.
3) HP is told from a limited POV (Harry's POV) and sometimes it's annoying because the reader has clearly figured something out, but the author needs the POV character to remain oblivious to it in order to further the plot or keep the tension or whatever.
4) Her heart is breaking because of her feelings for Peeta. I don't see how that is selfish. Katniss HAS been through a lot. She had the weight of the world on her shoulders. She's been used as a pawn by the Capitol in the first book. Then again in the 2nd book (but with the added bonus of being used by a pawn again by Haymitch and co as they use her but don't keep her in the loop), and now is being used by the rebels. Added to this is fighting for her life in the Games.
Yeah, I think you are reading the text completely wrong in the last two points you make. That isn't what is going on. What examples can you specifically think of in the text where Katniss is clueless? I can't think of any.
