I don't quite understand, how it can be claimed he was saving Jews from the Holocaust, when these said Jews were then living in the Soviet-controlled Lithuania?

Because he was giving them the chance to get out of Lithuania, and to other places where the could live in relative peace.

Yes, but there was no immediate danger to them in 1940. Neither Sugihara, nor the Jews couldn't know that Germany is going to attack the Soviet Union.
