So God knows that if he makes a being such as Eric that Eric will do certain things and when he makes Eric, he does in fact do those things freely? It still doesn't sound like free will to me. God has a plan and puts Eric in to situations where he will follow that plan. Is Eric ever able to go against the plan?

It's a bit more than that. If God is manipulating us into doing evil things then these evil things are still a part of his plan and for us to do them is not going against his will. Therefore sin cannot exist because everything happens according to God's plan and nothing can be against God.
