I think Reverse-Flash got out of the trap because of fluctuations in the field (Cisco said, I think). I think a bigger question is why he took Wells back into the field to beat him up instead of just grabbing the device and leaving. I guess that's what one would refer to as a plot hole…

In the comics, doesn't Iris find out about Barry's identity right when they get married and he talks in his sleep? Then she has time to have kids with Barry, so…
