I believe that he very much intended to survive. It appears that the booby traps and such were set to tie up first responders with casualties so that there was little or no response at the theater.

You hit the nail on the head. His neighbors said that the stereo began blasting exactly at midnight. Someone was supposed to enter the apartment to turn down the stereo, set off the explosives and the theater was supposed to be the second tragedy of the day in that city. very Joker-esque.
Also show he had no plans to return believing he would be killed at the movie.

I believe so, too. Perhaps he even thought that when the music started blaring in his apartment, someone would try to go in to turn it off, blowing up the apartment. Not only would it be a diversion from the theater, but they might also assume he had died in the apartment blast, allowing him to get away before they realized any connection.
