Question: How did Grissom figure out Jack was sleeping with Alicia?
Answer: He was suspicious, but when she first entered the penthouse and Grissom said to leave their business meeting, he noticed the sexy facial exchange Alicia and Jack gave each other.
Answer: Eckhardt ratted Jack out after getting assaulted by him and muttering under his breath: "Where've you been spending your nights?" He watched Jack long enough to get dirt on him and told Grissom that Jack was stealing his woman. Grissom confirmed it by inviting her up to his apartment when Jack happened to be there and watching to see if they recognized each other. Then he immediately set Jack up to take the fall for Axis Chemicals and gave Eckhardt the tip to get there first and assassinate him.

Suggested correction: The balloons were not filled with Smilex gas. The Smilex was in canisters that are visible underneath the balloons. The balloons themselves could have expended and contracted due to varying air pressure.

Yes the canisters were on the underside. But if you look closely, when activated, the balloon began to swell, and holes appeared, releasing the gas.
