I don't know, but "Что у него на уме?" sounds to me like "What's on his mind?" i.e. "What's worrying him?", whereas "What does he have in mind?" is closer to "What is he intending [to do]?"

According to the Tips and notes "Что он имеет в виду?" would rather mean "What does he mean?" which can be interpreted VERY differently from "What does he have in mind?"
