His force powers may not be as strong as Yoda and Mace Windu and his potential with the force clearly was not as strong as his apprentice, Anakin.
If Obi-Wan had saved him his only goal probably would be to kill the rest of the Jedi and Palpatine, so not really anything different. I think if Obi-wan stuck around any longer, Anakin would have regained enough concentration to force throw Obi-wan into the lava. Obi-wan was smart to leave when he did.
If Obi-Wan had saved him his only goal probably would be to kill the rest of the Jedi and Palpatine, so not really anything different.

If Yoda killed Palpatine, and the duel between Obi-Wan and Anakin Skywalker went the same was as in the movie, then the Sith would be destroyed as no one would come to Anakins rescue. If it was known that a Jedi assassinated an elected official as beloved as Palpatine, then the Jedi Order would face severe sanctions.
Vader's greatest strength is the fact that the only way to truly beat him is by full-on killing him, and Obi-Wan's weakness is that he has too much compassion for the man Vader once was to outright kill him. So Vader wins, despite being in critical shape.
I would assume pretty scared, last time he went all aggressive in him he suffered horrible injuries. Thats why the fight is reserved, Vader was wary of Obi Wan. Probably not scared at all. Darth Vader has the ability to interact with the force more effectively than possibly any one before him.

Originally Answered: Could Obi Wan defeat Palpatine in a duel? No, not even at Obi's best. Palpatine represents one of the most powerful Sith to have existed, he is immensely powerful. Anakin was set to be the most powerful Force user of all time, he was, after all, fathered by the Force.
