Its the same principle that TOR works on, the more hops between servers the less likely you are to be able to be tracked (hopefully still !). As for what your ISP knows about your surfing habits while using VPNs; the 'tunnel' that is created by the VPN(s) is supposed to make it impossible for the ISP to see what you are doing online.
