That graph is very misleading. It's not a real MitM attack, is it?

It is a MITM. Unknown key share would be the better definition I believe. Alice connects to Eve, Bob connects to Eve. Eve passes what Alice is telling Eve to Bob, and Bob to Eve. Alice thinks she's talking to Bob.

Alice doesn't know who Bob is, though.

Well she's confused. She thinks what Eve is showing Alice is Eve, but it's actually a copy of Bob.
