Yes, that is some weird interactions going on from H.

Wounds of the past run deep.
How long is MIL staying?
When does D leave?
Daughter’s pending leaving, and the actual leaving, is a huge change (for everyone but let’s look at H for a second) and will undoubtedly push and trigger some of his emotional buttons. Abandonment, loss, and such.
Mom being right there will also bring forth those unrealized and unreconciled feelings of the past.
I suspect weird and strange behaviour will be displayed. Things could just simmer away or boiled over. Stay clear and out of the line of fire.
Yes focus on you, on daughter, and enjoy the visit with MIL. If MIL is around for a few weeks, that’s a long time for H to try to be/act on his best behaviour.
Continue as you are. Expectations to zero my friend and see what happens.

Feelings are fleeting. Be better, not bitter. Love the person, forgive the sin.
