Don't get me started on 'Reaper Logic' lol. It's just that, for a man that is clearly not an imbecile, TIM certainly acts like one. Instead of agitating EVERY military in the galaxy with overt operations, he could have ingratiated himself with them and subverted them from the inside, like an indoctrinated sleeper agent normally does. And if he was truly indoctrinated, why would he destroy/Control the Collector Base in ME2? The collectors would've created a new Reaper and then... idk, probably try a Sovereign 2.0. So why derail the Reapers efforts to just go on and join them? Why bring back Shepard just to dog him at every turn? 

 

Who in their right mind would even allow the Illusive Man to join them on the inside? You've seen how most Citadel races and the Alliance think about Cerberus. The hatred and distrust towards that organisation are just too big, even after ME2. They would never have allowed the Illusive Man on the inside of the Alliance or Citadel. They would probably accept his military aid, but that's it. And that wouldn't help the Reapers one bit.

 

Regarding your second question: I disagree with the notion that the Illusive Man was already really indoctrinated by the Reapers by the end of ME2. I think he was genuine about his intentions pretty much to the end in ME2, and that his gradual mental degeneration due to indoctrination started in the time (six months I believe) between the events of ME2 and ME3.

It is more likely that his Indoctrination started back around ME2, as most Collector encounters were all recklessly planned and set up for high chances of failure or other negative consequences to the mission as a whole.

 

Horizon as bait: Unnecessary in its own right. Unforgivably planned and set up once the VS was used as individual bait to draw in the Collectors and to give Shep a reason to not bug out when **** was loaded into the gun to his head. In a worst case, Shep and co. would be dead and the Reapers effectively get to run ruckshot over everyone.

 

Collector Ship: Unforgivable mission with such obvious bait that only someone wanting to get someone killed would have bit on that lure. Considering that the worst case scenario went down on this mission, Shep is ungodly lucky not to be in Collector hands and effectively removed as a factor for the Reapers. TIM's brazen admission that he knew it was a trap should have hinted that he wasnt all there and something was very very wrong.
