The Heritage foundation is a long standing conservative group.

You can argue about their connection or not to Trump (seems silly as Trump just disavowed without specifically disagreeing with anything in the proposal) but you cannot argue that the heritage foundation themselves are insincere. This is really what they think and what they want. They have crazy close ties to Trump, and if he's elected you can bet that a lot of what's in this proposal will be what Trump tries to do. 

How powerful are they? Are they more powerful than Congress?

I mean they're one of the most powerful think tanks in America.

That means they're one of the most powerful groups amongst those giving the conservatives in congress their ideas. As someone living in the US I'll tell you that Project 2025 was not the first time I've heard of the Heritage Foundation.
