Jon's friendship with Tyrion was more of respect than actual liking. Tyrion basically educated Jon that being of noble blood (and the training that comes with it) and not being criminal still doesn't make him better than anyone nor does he deserve anything. In the books that role was given to a member of the Night's Watch. Depending on Jon's time with Tyrion as an opportunity for unifying the kingdoms is unrealistic...but Beinoff and Weiss is in a rush to finish the high point of their careers the show, so they would do something like that instead of producing quality writing.

This does relate to the topic of the discussion because Sansa, being the last Stark (for now) and her marriage to the southern Lannisters may be the one of the factors of House Stark combining their forces with House Targaryen. Imagine Daenerys commanding a court meeting with Sansa Stark the wife of her Hand, and use that opportunity to discuss an alliance and what's going on with the whitewalkers. D has 3 dragons, nobody is denying her summons.
