That’s the reason. Dolphins also pick on fish just because it entertains them.

Probably. Orcas can behave in quite a human manner sometimes.

Hank Green did a video about Sunfish and apparently they are mostly collagen which is not very nutritious so most things don't bother eating or hunting them so it's quite possible the orcas just do it for fun. I think the article speculates that breaking the Sunfish into small pieces might help young orcas to eat it more easily though so it's a bit unknown I think

The original article said that the sun fish was already dead, and exploding it is probably a way to create bite size pieces for the juvenile orcas.

The mola was already dead
