I think there's a possibility Nathan might not survive in part because of something I read from an interview with Tim Kring, which I won't go into in case you'd consider it too spoilery. But also, just in terms of storytelling, they ended the first season with a cliffhanger about whether Nathan would survive or not, and he did. Would they do the same thing again? And then, they've already saved so many people with blood. Aren't the writers going to feel like that's a cheat at some point?
On the other hand, you're right. It did look like a setup. Nathan practically had "assassinate me" tattooed on his head. And it would have been an interesting ploy for them to see how far the company (and, hey, their mother) was willing to go.
Maybe they'll surprise me, and Nathan survives because he was wearing a bulletproof vest! That would be so delightfully...normal. *g*
