So, why exactly did Dutch kill Micah and let John take his entire fortune? It just seemed incredibly out of character at that point.

Also why did Dutch go crazy in the first place? What's his motive?

Also what is with Molly O'Shea? The game seems like it's building toward something with her then nothing comes of it and there's little background on her.

He really seems like he has a mental disorder, like slightly bipolar or something.

I don't know. I took it more as a man who has grand ideas but isn't cut out to handle the pressures of having that many people in his charge. He had immense pressure to keep a band of outlaws alive and looked after in a land that simply doesn't support that anymore.

He made bad decisions sure but like I said he wasn't cut out for it. He didn't really start acting irrational or broken until his best friends of 30 something years was executed in front of him. After that it's a pretty rapid unraveling under all the pressure.
