 I don't understand how this works. I understand e2e encrypted messages and relays, but when has a relay needed incentive to deliver the message?

Can a paid relay do a better job than a free one? 
 Relay operators need revenue to cover server costs and other expenses.

 How do we know what the favoured minimum stamp is? Is it 1 estamp = 1 message rather than 1 sat? Are you buying estamps from relays specifically?

Do we get to pick a path? If there's only 1 relay, then isn't there IP tracking and behaviour/timing tracking risks? 
 There will be market competition among relays, resulting in the market price of estamps.
