I like your interpretation and I'd like to hear more. I always thought that Gandalf sat there wondering how the war would go since with Faramir gone, he was really the only one left who could lead Gondor's soldiers into battle - Denethor would lead from the back, as it were. Either that, or since Faramir told him of the route Frodo and Sam intended taking, his thought was going out to them in some way that we mortals can't understand. During the Last Debate, he says "Frodo has passed beyond my sight." and I always wondered what it meant to have Frodo in sight.
In the same way, the tiny scene when, just after Faramir goes out needlessly to his death with his riders, Gandalf is seen sitting alone and silent and concentrated for a brief moment in a little courtyard somewhere in Minas Tirith, is always for me the very important moment when he concentrates inwardly to save at least his beloved Faramir from this deadly mission, and preserve in him the only worthy heir of Numenor besides Aragorn. Crows and Gibbets! What is The House Of Eorl but a thatched barn where brigands drink in the reek, and their brats roll around on the floor with their dogs! You are but a lesser son of greater Sires.
