I always let everyone know when I expect to be making an offer (to someone) so they have an idea of when they'll hear back either way. It's not a bad sign, but I wouldn't read too much into it unless they said something more specific.

Not necessarily - it means they will be making a decision next week

To me, that means that they will be making a decision on who they are going to hire. Most companies will let you know either way so they were just giving you a ballpark of when to hear from them. I would follow up with an email or two just to keep yourself on the radar.

Not sure...maybe. After my last interview, I was told they'd make a decision in a couple of days. And then I got the offer letter by email within hours of my second round interview.
