The question here is why would ESE!Lupin wanted Harry to live?

I've got a simple answer: he needs Harry alive to kill Voldemort.
Harry will not be disposable until Voldie is out of the picture.

So he never intended to kill him and only had to check if he could
fire Sirius.

And he was with Malfoy all the time. Both of them could have reasons
to kill Sirius, separatedly or together.
