Was he just faking all that to persuade "the audience"??
I think there is no MIB. I think someone we know becomes him later on. It can be Locke, Desmond, Jack... I don't think there is just some exogenous "Bad Boss" that we can blame for everything. That would just be poor writing.

Johns behavior when no one is around could be "foreshadowing" and to me a very good reason for him to be "taken/given" John needed to be acknowledged, by anyone or anything.
Someone has to be the villian. And from day one I have said that Jacob was the bad guy, not an opinion that was very well accepted. I also think that if John is Smokie than he is not the only Smokie, another opinion not well accepted is that Richard is the bad Smokie.

I agree we are seeing John Locke for a reason - in terms of the story, MIB explained already how contemptuous he is of Locke and how convenient it was that his body was returned to the island. In terms of the production of the show, Terry O'Quinn is one of the best there is, and it gives him a great opportunity to shine.

Yes, it might be just a reason for TOQ to shine. WhatEver Happened could very well be the whole show. I always thought LOST was straightforward storytelling but so much fun to make our own twists and turns
