If you have not actually done anything unlawful, it is best to just give yourself to justice and let the courts sort it out. Otherwise, they can use it against you that you obstructed justice...

You're assuming there will be "justice." You know what they say about assumptions...

I'm at a loss as to why he would be worried about extradition to the US when the only charges against him are from Sweden.

But surely that does not stop the US from charging him and issuing their own warrant - something much easier to do if he's already in custody.

If he is (perhaps secretly) deemed an enemy combatant, he can be held indefinitely in custody without having any charges against him.

My guess is that he is confident he can get out on bail. Maybe he got a deal from the UK - who knows at this point. It will be very interesting to see what happens next.
