On your first point, that is.
The general election selects the president. The primary just selects who will be running in the general election. Our job as a primary electorate is to pick the candidate we'll put forward with the general electorate.
Also, in a primary, vote splitting has a bigger effect simply because there are more candidates who could conceivably be taken seriously.
Both of these points imply that strategic voting is especially important in the primary.
