To settle this matter, I have found proof that this is actually the case.
Internet is a wonderful thing, if you are unsure about something you just need to write the quote of a show and you'll find some forum where they talk about it. Of course you need to have at least some basic knowledge to understand (at least partially) and write Japanese
Anyway here it is:

The first guy is confused by Mikasa's statement "これで私と離れずにすんだと思って安心してる" (He's relieved that we won't have to separate anymore), which is the opposite of what Eren is thinking.
The second guy confirms that this is an author's
joke, he shows us how Eren and Mikasa do not understand each other such as when Mikasa before says that Eren doesn't need to become a soldier, that was Mikasa's way to comfort him, but Eren thinks she's looking down on him. Notice how Eren doesn't stay enough to listen to Mikasa as she explains that she would go with him in case he failed.
In the end it's Armin that got it right when he said "Look at his eyes, he's totally challenging you". After Mikasa gives her wrong interpretation the looks on the faces of the other three is rather comical (especially Reiner), as they understand how delusional Mikasa is.
So yes, the manga translator messed up big time, probably confused by the fact Mikasa looks sad there.

A bit too late for that. As you can see
here the Yomiuri giants are already nicknamed 巨人

It's probably not important to go over specific details. I'm pretty sure the author is not an engineer and he didn't go as far as to check with scientific studies if the equipment would work in reality and how it would work, or how he should specifically design it to create the particular effect of balance that he has on his mind.
What's important is that the drill instructor recognizes that no one would be able to maintain his balance with the kind of defect Eren's equipment has.
