I ran into someone similar as Daud on a nonlethal/ghost run. I was doing the part with the Hatters, spoke with Trimble to make them all neutral to me, but the workers still ran away saying things like "I haven't anything to steal!" And "please help me!" Needless to say I was relieved when the mission screen showed I didn't mess anything up.

I agree with Teatime about the sword.

I don't know if Daud will be coming back, and it's even less likely he'd end up working with Corvo and Emily given their history... he did kill her mum and his lover, after all... But I get a very strong feeling we're going to see Billie Lurk again.
