Why do people say, "OK", to themselves when they position themselves in front of something they are about to handle, such as a sandwich or a small task or the beginning of an important conversation, as though the world had better pay attention?

It's just a way to focus. A way to express, and therby solidify, the idea in their mind that this is the direction they will now go. Not everyone has an easy time focusing. Some people need visual and/or verbal points to focus on.

Hee hee you are a deep thinker like me. I notice that all the time like after a tak they say OK meaning to themself ok I fished that now I can go on to this. I guess they are pretty proud of themselves even with the smallest tasks : D Great question.

I think it's because they have made a decision to take some kind of action and giving it the "verbal" "okay" is a self-actualizer that the commitment to action is about to commence. Sort of like we say, "Ready, set, go!" at the beginning of races.
