Maybe it's just out of deference to (and perhaps fear of?) Walter, though, that he doesn't want to kill Skyler.

I think the line "We have a lot of respect for your husband" is the giveaway in that case.
Todd's respect for Walter is going to be the downfall of the entire group. His respect is what caused Jack to give him a barrel and spare his life in the desert. That barrel buys the chemo, food, relocation, and M60.
To put it in Mike's words, Todd and Jack chose a half measure, and it's going to rightfully bite them in the ass.
