Yes the way you have been describing the "inline setup" that you want it
reads exactly as if you were describing how ICAP works.

By "plugging into Squid" with ICAP I mean setting some squid.conf
directives to tell Squid were to send the traffic through its ICAP
interface (and what to send that way).

The SSL-Bump feature of Squid decrypts TLS on arrival, and re-encrypts
when sending to the upstream HTTP server. What can be decrypted is
unencrypted when sent to ICAP and/or eCAP.

If the TLS/SSL cannot be "Bumped" by Squid (or you choose to configure
Squid not to for any reason). Then that traffic is not sent through the
ICAP/eCAP services.
