He won't talk to me at the Merchants thingy in BG City. I missed him in
Cloakwood somehow, and forgot all about the dude. I have a saved game at the
beginning of Chapter 5 (before I've gone to BG City), I've loaded that up
again but even if I go back to Cloakwood he won't talk to me. Can I continue
without worrying about this guy? Or do I have to go back to the beginning of
Chpt firking 4.

It's a side quest. You miss about 5K XP, 8K gp or so worth of
loot, and a nice item which can be obtained by "other means."

It is not worth re-doing the CW mindes, IMHO.

In return, you get some other side quest, the details of which I
hope to find out soon.

I don't think he's mission critical. You should be able to blow him off and
still complete the game. You do miss out of some experience points and a
magic goody that you might be able to get another way. I wouldn't go back
to chapter four.

He gives you a bonus quest at the Merchant's Guild that is not essential to the
game, although it does yield a nice sword that is plus 3 vs. shapeshifters. I
wouldn't revert to a saved game that far back unless you're a real completist.
That's what replays are for. ;)
Have you tried going back to Cloakwood in your current game just to see if he
still shows up there?

Aldeth will only require your services in chapter 4. I usually kill him in
Cloakwood as he is walking away, that way he is magically alive in BG city.
Then I can pickpocket him on the street, and again in the building. Thatway, I
get 3x +1/3 Bastard swords.
