Do you think this is a crumb thrown Harry Reid's way in order to get him to cooperate more on the judicial nominees?

Not really. In fact, I think that Harry Reid's support for Brian Sandoval (a Republican) is motivated by two things:
1.) He can point to his support for Sandoval as evidence that he's not a reflexive obstructionist.
2.) He will never have to worry about Sandoval running against him in any future reelection campaigns.
