I'm still not sure I buy into this completely yet... how do you intend on winning the hand, even if you raise?

The idea is that we think we can get the guy with the better hand to fold. The MP player who bet could have anything. We beat his range of hands enough of the time that if we can raise and get heads up with him, we're golden.

So yes, we're raising to knock out the preflop raiser and plan on showing down against MP.

If the preflop raiser won't fold, we don't make this raise. Likewise if MP often has a hand better than ours, we don't make this raise. But the raiser looks pretty sad about his hand, and MP is a lunatic.
