He is talking to B'nai Yisrael through Moshe - saying He will be with them, not with Moshe. Moshe asked G-d - what should he say to them?

No, not if we are talking about Exodus 3:12. In that verse YHWH says 'EHYEH `IMMAK, "I am/will be with you (singular)", cf. KJV "I will be with thee". This singular "you" must refer to Moses alone, not to the Israelites. There is a change to plural "you" only in the last clause of this verse, "you will worship God on this mountain".
