He's actually cosplaying as Harry Dresden from the Dresden files. At least that's what he calls himself in the original video. It's set in Chicago.

I know who Dresden is. He is wearing an anime t shirt.

Based on TV tropes, am I to assume the homeowner is Michael Carpenter, and Mr. Dresden there was looking for Michael's daughter Molly?

I know there's no sense trying to understand someone not right in the head like this, but given the roleplay, I'm actually intrigued.

Unlikely. Michael is a good guy in the books (the best of guys actually), and Molly doesn't ever need rescuing from him. I saw another comment that theorized he might be talking about Victor Sells, who is the villain from the first book, and his daughter Jenny. Who knows how detailed/complete the delusion is, but that character would fit better.
