I don't think he is "doing this to you" on purpose. These are the risks you take wheb you get an 8 week old puppy. I hope you are taking him with you when you leave.

The baby food should help, you can also see if he'll eat peanut butter in a small amount. Use the nutrical sparingly, it can sometimes cause them to not want to eat.
Great post.

Another thing about the nutrical is, while it is okay to give, it can cause spikes in sugar and then possible lows. Protein is very important to try and balance him out.

How much nutrical are you giving a day?

Because he has some inappetence and he didn't some out of his episode the other night fast enough, I would still be wondering if there is something else going on here. Since he did have that episode and it was thought to be hypo and he is so young, he needs to be fed every 2-3 hours at the least I would think. That includes during the night. There must be a very palatable canned food out there that he would eat. How many brands have you tried?
