The whole point was for the news to get out. He's playing both sides, on purpose. Sansa is a pawn, but she is too important for Ramsay to kill, even Ramsay knows that. Kill the "last remaining" Stark, and the legitimacy of the Bolton's hold on the North and Winterfell diminishes significantly.
Remember, the amount of time that has passed since he dropped Sansa in Winterfell is pretty miniscule. It's been more than a year for us, but for them it's been just enough time for Baelish to go back to the Vale and mount up the Lords Declarant. All of this was on purpose. I am not sure what his final aim is, but considering he thinks Jon the bastard is the lifelong Lord Commander of the Night's Watch, I'd imagine that he'll ride in, slay the Boltons, free the North from their psychopath oppressors, and win Sansa's heart and become Warden of the North and the Eyrie at the same time. He loves them Tullys, and Sansa is a spitting image of Catelyn in her younger years, it is said.
The Lannisters have more important things on their plates right now, and don't have the army anyway to be traipsing through the snow in order to attack Winterfell, one of the strongest castles in all of Westeros. Even if they'd be talking about it, there's little they could realistically do right now, and their eyes are on the Faith Militant.
I agree on the fake Arya plot, that's too complicated to insert Jeyne Poole into Winterfell and expect the audience to keep that in mind amongst the thousand other things.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
