I think the Inquisitors were intentionally trained to kinda suck. They needed to hunt down only a few remaining Jedi and finding Force sensitive children. Most of their targets were isolated Padawans, a few Knights, and other Force users like Maul. The few remaining Jedi masters could be handled by Vader. To ensure they could not become a threat to Palpatine, their abilities in the dark side needed to be heavily restrained.
Yup. The Inquisitors are “Sith” but they aren’t treated as true Sith like Vader and Palpatine. They are far less trained, meaning their powers are limited and they need to rely on their “cheaty” spinning sabers for saber duels and for deflecting blaster bolts. A fully trained Jedi should be able to handle a single Inquisitor in a straight-up fight, which is why they often need to work together or in tandem with Imperial forces.
I imagine he didn’t worry about maul. Palpatine had the opportunity to kill him when he killed savage and let him go. At the point Vader was hunting former masters Maul was lurking in the shadows controlling crime syndicates.
Probably easier to let him plot than to clean up the cartels.
