What did Sam do to get sent to the wall? Was it just because he was fat?
Also, why did Jon Snow want Sam to become a maester? I think it might have been to learn how to kill white walkers. At this rate, won't it take Sam too long to learn anything before it's too late?

Wasn't it something about being the first born but not wanting to hand the house and name over to him since he wasn't much of a man in his dad's eyes?

Sam was really the only one smart enough to be qualified. He's not some great fighter so they don't need him for that.

And not sure what "at this rate" means, we really have no sense of how long everything takes. I suppose it may seem like it's too late if we assume that everything in a single episode is happening at the same time, but I'm not sure that's a fair assumption. Plus, we have no idea how soon the WWs are going to be at the wall.

Every castle has a maester, and Maester Aemon died, so naturally his protege would get the gig.
Randyll Tarly wants his 2nd second Dickon to be the heir of Horn Hill because he's the warrior/leader he was hoping Sam would be. Sending him to the Wall would be the only legal way to pass the titles, lands, and inheritances on to Dickon.

I recommend watching After The Thrones on HBO Go. They bring in guests every week to help non-book readers with backstory stuff. They have a weekly "Who the Fuck Was That" segment to highlight a character who appeared in the episode that you may have forgotten. I assume this week it will be Edmure Tully who we haven't seen since his bedding ceremony at the Red Wedding, but it could be Benjen I suppose.
I didn't really recall Benjen. Even after last season's fakeout, I didn't go back and search out his early scenes.

I presumed it was a way for the father to legally wrangle Sam's younger brother (Dickon?) into becoming his heir without Sam needing to suffer some sort of fatal accident since a convenient result of Sam joining the Watch was him forfeiting any family titles or inheritance.

Yeah, Randyll Tarly gave Samwell an ultimatum: Either join the Nights Watch and give up your inheritance, or we'll go on a special hunting trip where you'll suffer a fatal "accident."
