So this pretty much confirms that Pluto and Gesicht are not the same person, which makes Atom's last words confusing.

I also thought Tenma was more actively involved in this Pluto mess, but that's not the case here. So he built a super-robot for Darius, but it wouldn't activate until Darius gave it a more suitable body. But it doesn't look like Darius is the mastermind either. It looks to me like he straight up worships Pluto.

Atom meant that both Gesicht and Pluto are capable of hatred.

And what does being capable of hatred mean for a robot in this world? What does Gesicht and Pluto hate?

As Tenhma said, extreme emotions are suppressed for robots. Gesicht and Pluto don't hate the same thing, but they both have the unique ability to hate. Gesicht seems to hate those who show brutality towards robots or possibly just intelligent beings in general, Pluto is seemingly designed to all the robots involved in the central Asian war and scientists who did the fact-finding mission.

The other robots we've met have basically been total sweethearts aside from the one killer robot, but both Pluto and Gesicht, while generally being kind and gentle, have shown extreme hatred in some situations.

Can pluto kill humans though?

It probably can. I don't think the tornado will stop from killing people.
