As Kirito said: "Nothing's more boring than watching someone else play an RPG."
He already knew from last time that Kirito would take the bait anyway. (Typical protagonist flaw: "Nobody calls me chicken!"
)

Honestly, it's describing most of the more popular and well-known works of fiction throughout history.
In the grand scheme of things, I would say that this story (so far) has done pretty well at foreshadowing plot developments and ensuring that things that seem like oddities earlier on come back later and are put into context. So I am willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, though I respect that others may not feel the same way.

It'd have made more sense for him to realise his mistake after activating his skill, followed by a monologue.

Actually, what you just said is what happened. As soon as he did it, you can hear a change his tone of voice (a sort of unspoken "oh crap"), and then there was a monologue where he apologized to Asuna and said that at least she should live.
