Max isn't high-fiving herself in panel 6 there. It's... Okay, I have this vague recollection of some martial arts movie where someone is winding up for an attack, and they slap their hands together just as they throw whatever move it is. I thought it might have been in the final fight of Drunken Master 2, but it wasn't. It's like the "wipe your thumb against the side of your nose" flair. 

So, it's just a bit of flair Max is doing. Yeah, fine, it's basically a self-five. 

As for Gail's question, no, Max did not know that would work. She thought it might work, and even if it didn't, it'd still eliminate Kaboomoid and Eat-Chicken. Once she had the glowing Eat-Chicken noodle in her hand, she was fairly certain that it'd get set off with only a minor infusion of energy. The fact that it wrecked Mt. Atrocitous's hip perfectly is just main-character serendipity.
