Yes that hadith is da'eef, as was classified by sheikh ibn taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on his soul).
Yes, there is usually a bit of killing involved in battle.
Anyway, Allah knows his intentions. However, i still firmly hold that ijtihad should only be used when there is no evidence from the Qur'an or sunnah to solve that situation.

There is a hadith where the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) describes 'jihad-al-nafs' as the greatest Jihad. This is considered daif (weak narration).

i heard it was weak too but that it's concept is supported by quran/sunnah...?
 
No sis it isn't, because a mujahid also faces jihad of the nafs. The soul doesn't desire to feel pain... to leave their loved ones... it would much rather stay home and not fight.

I believe at times, depending on usage, it can mean 'mortal combat' rather than killing. *cue theme tune*

who decides which hadiths are weak?
 
they don't just 'decide'. It's quite complicated. Well the thing is, unlike the Qur'an, Allah has not promised to protect the Hadith. So they can be fabricated. So to know which ones are authentic, there is a strict process for classification.
