Alana didn't go out of her way to be rude to him so I don't think he would have killed her. That said, Alana didn't exactly rise above the situation. Had she, she would not have accepted/sought out Chilton's job or be involved with him still. She would focus on her family, her teaching, her patients etc.

Maybe I'm wrong but I didn't see Alana having moved on from Hannibal himself or Will or the whole FBI fiasco. Her revenge ended with him in prison. Yet, two years later she's still around him, by her own choice.

It was so personal and accepting of her choice in a drink instead of what he would like her to drink, that it made my knees weak. Who cares what was/is in it?

I like to think that this was because they respected each other at the end of the day. Sure Alana taunted him while he was imprisoned but she also admitted that he was there because he wanted to be there. If he truly had wanted to get out, he would have and if he truly wanted to end Jack, Will or Alana, he would have found a way to do it.

About Will... I liked him at first because he was truly sick and was fighting the good cause and everyone screwed him over (including Jack that is), but after a while he got on my nerves. I don't hate him and I hate that he died (for now anyway) but at the same time, his constant whining got old.
No, she wasn't rude to him but she rejected him by pulling the trigger. Despite the fact that he took the bullets out in case she did opt to turn against him, I think he still wasn't sure whether she would or not, in view of what they shared. And when she made the choice to indeed do just that and not walk away and be 'blind, he hated it because he despised rejection. To my opinion that was the sole reason he wanted to kill her and kept threatening to do so, although I don't think he'd go through with it. I saw him as someone who longed for someone who would accept him for what and who he was. And Alana wouldn't do that.

I think she did move on and rose above the situation to a great extent. The fact that she accepted Chilton's offer and chose to remain involved with the case was just another way to prove to herself that she could face the 'demons', difficult as it was. Being involved in the FBI as she was, it would be a defeat for her to withdraw from the matter completely and focus on everything else but Hannibal. Just my personal opinion but from the two, I think she's the one who has really moved on and away from him in the end. Margot has got a lot to do with that, of course. She's simply too strong to 'run' and hide. Furthermore, she remained involved because in a big sense of the way she was still looking out for Will and trying to protect him from Hannibal. She knew very well that if the opportunity would arise, Will would be tempted to take that final plunge with Hannibal. And that was eventually exactly what happened.

@ Ilda: Yes, his jumping between wanting to 'eliminate' Hannibal and any further harm he might cause, and the constant conflicting emotions, plus bromance, on the other side, was getting on my nerves, too. From highly upset at his family's ordeal with Dolarhyde, to getting in the car with Hannibal and indirectly supporting him in whatever he chose to do, was just too much of a paradox.
