Bends like that with a floating vibrato are tricky. Yes, you do have to bend the "unbent" note a bit and the note you are intending to bend will have to go a little further as the bridge gives to the extra tension. It's why Mark Knopfler played a hardtail Strat.
There are many products out there that will allow you to lock the bridge. I'm pretty sure there are some for a Floyd.
I don't know how much a tuner will help during practice. I've heard of people using them, but I'd advise that you use your ears. I guess it doesn't hurt to try.
