But Fredo also said that he thought it would be good for the family.

The dialog went as follows:
Fredo: "He said it would be good for the Family.
Michael: And you believed that?
Fredo: He said there'd be something in it for me." [emphasis in original.]
What was important to Fredo was "me," not the Family.

I think the best explanation for Fredo's role is that they told him they needed the drapes open for some relatively innocuous reason, like that they had to know where Michael was so that they could search his office or some such.

Toward what end? That's a huge stretch.

Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � sparsu,
E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu...
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
