He asked her because he was interested at first. And he stayed up out of politeness and in hopes it would get interesting. It didn't, and he was horrified when Hange said she'd go through it again with her theories on the matter.
Armin's the one who actively speaks with her with her theories and even helped her get to the idea of 'the titans made the walls.'
Jean was originally supposed to be a 'normal' guy, but I actually think he'll become Commander because he's growing from that. Armin telling him about 'sacrifice' I think was supposed to foreshadow it, and we see him changing from the man who says he would never run into a whole mess of titans, to an actual man who DOES run into a whole mess of titans. I think by the end of his character development, he's going to be fit for a Commander position, and his humanity and honesty is actually part of why I think he's going to. He's the bridge between heroes and average Joes, like you said. That makes him a motivator-- his speeches make the other soldiers follow him, because it's coming from the mouth of a guy that's just as scared as they are, instead of someone like Mikasa.
