Exactly my point. So why would Madara try to mind-control (or whatever he's doing) Obito?

He has nothing to gain from that action and yet it might give the Shinobi Alliance an opening which allows them to seal him before he can finish casting the Rinne Tensei.

Once he's sealed it's all over for him. Unless being revived somehow undoes the seal, he'll be a living and completely immobilized target that the Shinobi can just stick full of Kunai at their leisure.

It makes no sense!

Same with him commenting about getting his "full powers" back after being revived, when all the Edo Tensei zombies were fighting at full strength or even beyond that, since they didn't need to worry about injuries or running out of chakra.
