Not sure how to explain the Isabella being on the island part.
I thought it was really interesting how Jacob first interacted with Richard. I felt like we were seeing a completely different person when he attacked Richard and then took him to the sea and attempted to drown him. It's almost like Richard turned Jacob into the peaceful person we came to know and that the Others followed.
I think it's kind of cool to see that Jacob had never really thought of it the way Richard did when he says "If you don't, he will" when Jacob ask him "Why should I tell them what to do, that would defeat the purpose."
Also this confirmed our suspicions that Jacob brought people to the island to show that people are not all corruptable, even though he had failed with everyone so far until Oceanic 815.
I don't think that the island is related to hell at all, I believe it is exactly as Jacob described it: the thing stopping the darkness from overtaking the world. I believe it's a type of prison designed to hold smokey. Smokey calls it hell because that's what it is to him, and Richard thought it was hell initially because what else could spawn something as terrible as the black smoke.
