It is indeed a trilogy--BioWare decided to make ToB the third part, instead of making a BG3.
Centeol (the Spider woman) doesn't actually say 'Jon Irenicus,' she says 'Jon Icarus,' although she does refer to him as an archmage. This is indeed a bit of foreshadowing, although Jon's name was later altered a bit from its working-title form. Other small references pop up throughout the story--some not already mentioned are:
One of the password options to enter the Thieves' Guild is "Bodi," as opposed to the character Bodhi in BG2
Prism's dying word is "Ellesime," who we later find out is someone rather important
Ajantis's Biography mentions a Paladin named Keldorn, a Member of the Order of the Most Radiant Heart.
