I actually think the thing with Rory was an interesting choice of character development. The whole time Rory has been with the Doctor he hasn't really been a companion to the Doctor, he's been there for AMY who just happens to be with the Doctor. I think this is the first time he really truly acted like a companion, which is to say he put his faith in the Doctor even though it made no sense. He did hesitate though, and yes it was a really scary jarring moment because his entire world has always been about Amy.
I'm actually really interested to see how Rory and the Doctor interact with Amy gone. I know we had the time earlier with the silents, but Rory was also viewing the Doctor as a rival for Amy's affection at that time, which he isn't now. Also, Amy's voice was present and now there's no connection at all.
As to why the Doctor didn't explain things and just made cryptic statements that freaked everyone out: maybe he was trying to not tip off the people on Amy's end before he broke the connection? He, and we, have no way of knowing how much they know about what's going on with Amy's mind, so maybe he said things that would make sense once the connection was broken to Amy, but wouldn't immediately raise specifc red flags.

I'm rambling, but that's my 2 cents.
