Yes AD but that's the thing, When Aldrich is standing over tony right after he says here we are on the roof. The fire that excretes from his hand is the same color as his fire-breath!

First of all, he's not excreting any fire from his hands, we only see they're heated. And again, fire is not the same as extremely-heated matter. As an example: melted metal can be orange, but still hotter than fire.

No. Aldrich wasn't ready to punch as he landed. He landed, equilibrated, gained momentum and punched. And considering only 1.5 seconds lapsed between landing and thorwing the punch, he threw the punch as soon as he could.

Why isn't it? Have you ever been in a fight? Killian was having a fight with expertise, but when his hand was broken, he got angry and, like any animal would retaliate by instinct, pushed Iron Man.

And what's the point of saying during the "On the roof" moment Killian could've killed Tony right there with his fire breath if he was about to kill Tony right there with a punch? Tony could've evaded the fire-breath as easily as he evaded that faster-than-charging-his-attack-and-then-breathing-fire punch.
