Although I think they could get away with changing Norton out for someone else. The Hulk to me, at least for people who see the Hulk in theaters are more interested in seeing the Hulk smashing shit and fighting than Banner on screen.

Ironman needs Favreau and it really needs RDJ, as you said, if RDJ is that close to Favreau and he isn't the director than that will complicate things to the point where he might not even do the film.
