black to move

I think it's Knight takes pawn, King moves, Knight f7 check, rook takes queen takes and you're up an exchange with incredible threats on the pinned bishop?

why would white go Rxf2 when they can go Kg1 again and avoid the exchange? Like that white only loses a pawn and black doesn't have any real threats as far as I can tell

Because after Kg1 (second time) Ng4 is a win for black. Mate threat on h2 and if white replies with Rf3 then Qh2+ Kf1 Qh1+ Ke2 and white collapses. If the rook moves anywhere along the back rank then Qh2+ is even still incredibly strong.
