Jesus wasn't changing subjects here! Verse 19 and 20 are a reiteration of verses 15-18. Verse 19 is about the binding and loosing, and deals with the fault and how the brother in fault responds. Yes, they are agreeing and asking concerning the trespass.

The word "Again" does not mean Jesus changed the subject; it just means He is re-emphasizing His point. It's funny you missed the part of your own definition of "again" where it speaks of repetition. Furthermore, do you understand what "furthermore" means? It doesn't mean to change the subject. It's means to give addition to the present subject.

The context is not agree and pray about anything. Context is what surrounds the verse in question.

Jesus isn't with you when you pray alone? When you ask God for something in your solitary time of prayer, He's not with you and doesn't answer?

Again, as stated previously, Jesus did not change the subject.

Read Deuteronomy 19:15-21. The witnesses stood before the Lord, the priests and judges. The judgement or pardon was done before the Lord, just as the binding and loosing is done in Matthew 18.

Where in those verses does it say Jesus shows them who the guilty party is? Don't add to the verse to try and prove your point. It says nothing about Jesus showing them who it is; this is why the 2 or 3 witnesses is required.
