"what I want (1. extract the msi to a temp folder, 2. run msiexec, 3. delete temp folder)."


Sorry, the point of using Wix for that exercise is lost on me.  You could easily write a batch file to do the above tasks.

Running msiexec is something that would happen if the user double-clicked on the MSI, or right-clicked on it and selected "Install".  I'm not clear on why an EXE wrapper which adds no effective value is needed.
