Some typos go unnoticed even by editors because they are insidious and hard to spot. Yours was very obvious and easily noticed. It was glaring.
Bran's dream in aGoT. It could still be something less than a deity, but there's no reason to think that.
As for this point, I don't see the jump from that to the "Great Other". After all, we know that the weirwood connection with greenseers might account for the "Old Gods" worship (though I think the greenseer connection is just part of it, based solely on the impression I received when reading). It could just be the opposite of a greenseer - a deathseer, so to speak, responsible for animating the wights and even the "Others".
How is the existence of the Great Other "more or less certain"? I have seen no more evidence of it existing than any of the gods worshiped.
