I interpreted his rage over Pompey's death as related to that; I figured he was planning to forgive Pompey and show off both his clemency and his power over Pompey.
Yes, that's exactly it. Although what he thought Pompey would do is a mystery -- Pompey couldn't possibly have accepted Caesar's clemency. There's something vaguely hypocritical about Caesar's response to Pompey's murder.
