Legally speaking would Trump be within his current powers as outlined by the SCOTUS to put out a hit on someone obstructing his agenda and pardon the killer? I hope the answer is no, but I don’t think it is.

Not sure he could do a private contract. But he could officially instruct a govt. employee to do it.
If its done as one of his constitutionally mandated duties, he is absolutely immune. If as one of his other duties, he's presumptively immune. The official would be legally liable, but pardonable.
