I actually think he DID know what he was doing, and is simply hiding what he is doing behind the facade of revenge. Particularly since he can't tell anyone about it until the events actually occur, as that could otherwise have time-paradox ramifications. I am pretty convinced that both Rumplestiltskin and Hook know, exactly what is going on.... but like you said, they cannot tell anyone.
