Yes they had a few flirty lines, but they were all over too fast among the plot to really register. There weren't any of the intense in each others faces scenes like there was in Avengers 1. The few Steve/Tony fics I've found based on AoU have all been centered around them sharing a room at Clint's farmhouse, and that's pretty much it.
I think torpedoing the Clint/Nat ship was a side effect of torpedoing the Clint/Coulson ship and trying to setup the Bruce/Nat ship. And yeah, I agree that there were any number of guys that it would make more sense to try to pair Nat up with. I can buy a relationship with Clint, or Steve, or even a non-serious one with Sam - the latter 2 of which could then be further developed in a Cap film. There's absolutely no reason to shoehorn something in with Bruce.
Trying not to have too many expectations for the upcoming films. That way at least I get pleasantly surprised.
