No, I don't think that Ranko would do that. For one thing, he's (technically)
her brother. 

Technically...but remember that he's not the same person anymore.

Second, I don't think it fits into the story for Ranko to 
ask him to do something like that (engagement) when he's admitted love 
for Akane. 

She knows he doesn't really know Akane yet, anyways.

I think she has more of his happiness in mind than hers...I 
think that they're set on a course to becoming bro/sis best friends...you 
know,  the kind of friend you'd start a relationship with if you two 
weren't such good friends. (If that doesn't make sense, oh well...it's 
happened, more than once, to me.)

huh?
