Depending on your interpretation, he's either talking about taking decisive but risky action (specifically, killing his uncle), or suicide. In my opinion, it's the latter. He's considering the strange notion that suicide is actually braver than enduring life's many indignities.

Pandora's box was a box containing all the troubles of the world which Pandora was told not to open. When she did open it all the troubles got out and did horrible things. Thus when someone says "If you investigate that you will be opening a Pandora's box", they are saying that if the subject is investigated a lot of bad things will be discovered.
