The benefits of hearing someone pray for you makes sense to me. And didn’t Jesus usually go to see those he healed?

With some exceptions, such as the slave of the centurion and the son of the man who said, "I believe - help my unbelief!"

Not necessarily. There was the centurian's servant and the daughter of another woman. In both these instances, particularly with the centurian's servant, the major point was that Jesus location didn't matter at all with regard to his ability to heal. When the centurian pointed this out, Jesus' praised this gentile for having more faith than any other in Israel

Of course that can also trigger a placebo effect.

Sometimes. Sometimes they came to Him. And on at least one occasion, He merely declared it done from across town and it was done.
