Listen man.
You must *Baton Pass the *Mean Look. The opponent's poke is then stuck there to die. He can't switch - that is the point of *Mean Look. The only way to end the *Mean Look is if you remove the poke who used it. That's why you *Baton Pass it - to keep the effect in play.
You can switch and the *Wish will still work but the poke you are trying to revive will most likely die from the hit before it's healed.
Example: The poke you are trying to heal is
Blaziken with 1 HP left because he had a *Reversal sweep stalled. You are using
Umbreon with 222 Spd. You're opponent is
Salamence with 256 Spd. You cast *Wish and he hits you with *Earthquake. Now if you just switch to
Blaziken he will eat the next *Earthquake and die before *Wish activates at the end of the turn. If you *Baton Pass the same *Wish
Umbreon eats the *Earthquake and
Blaziken is healed at the end of the turn.
Do you understand now? By *Baton Passing - *Wish
Umbreon takes the hit for your weak poke making it more effective. This only applies when the opponent is faster then
Umbreon though.

Can't I just switch the normal way?

I'm not sure exactly what you mean here so i'll give you both sides.
If you don't *Baton Pass - *Mean Look the effect would end. Just like if you don't *Baton Pass a *Sword Dance the next poke won't have boosted Attack.
If you mean couldn't
Swampert just switch normally the answer is no. That's what *Mean Look does.
I see what you are trying to do but
Umbreon isn't meant to kill pokes himself. He's meant to help your other pokes kill them easier. If you want to lose a move it would be *Taunt but i don't suggest it. The best
other move i've seen in that slot is *Charm to weaken a physical sweeper so you could *Baton Pass to a *Dragon Dancer / *Calm Minder / *Sword Dancer to allow you to StatUp without fear and sweep.
