Yes, I think it's been pretty well established that that is Saruman meeting his end. I think the question is when that will occur...

It could occur in either TTT or RotK, and I have heard evidence of both. It is pretty much confirmed, I think PJ said it himself quite clearly, that the Scouring is out. So this probably takes place at Orthanc. But it could occur when they show up at Orthanc in TTT, or they could have them all stop by on their way back to The Shire. Or, it could just happen without any of our heroes being there--it's hard to say.

I've heard that Christopher Lee said he was in all three movies, but then there are other interviews that point to this happening in TTT. So I am just going to wait and see on this one.

Hmm... thanks... Maq, where did you get your snippet? and can you repeat it here?

Oh No, I love that part! Merry, Pippin get to be warriors in their own land, and Sam gets to be heroic where Rosie Cotton can see him!! I guess PJ wil contrive something to bring it all together. After seeing the fabulous job he did with FoTR, I'll trust him with the rest!
