Granted he's susceptible to her spells, but on the other hand AoTC Anakin is an exceptional duelist, capable of contending with Dooku on Geonosis, where he was initially able to press the Count. A mere 7 weeks later and he's engaging him as a practical equal on Tatooine.
There's two sources stating that Dooku made short work of Anakin and Obi-Wan, a Star Wars Fact File, and The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia.
In any case, I've noticed he always performs better against Dooku in his 1v1s with him than he does against anyone else. If he truly were Dooku level he wouldn't have so much trouble with Barriss, Hondo, and Ventress in particular. So I really don't view him as being a Dooku level combatant until the tail end of the Clone Wars.

Zannah is going to find herself hard pressed to find an opening while fending off his assault.
Perhaps, however she's managed to survive a brief duel with ROT Bane, whose offense is powerful enough to drive back Raskta, Farfalla, and Johun at the same time, and she managed to hold her own against a BM amped Sarro Xaj, one of the best duelists in the Galaxy vastly physically superior to Johun (who can throw a man over his head with one arm and move to quickly for the eye to follow).
And here, unlike in her fight with Sarro where she couldn't find an opening, Zannah has plenty of room to retreat, meaning she could step back to alleviate offensive pressure and free up more of her energy towards her sorcery. That or she could flip several meters backwards to create the necessary opening.

At the focal point of a powerful DS nexus, I see no reason to believe she could replicate that accomplishment in a neutral setting.
Right which is why I'm not saying she ragdolls Obi-Wan. I still believe such a feat supports her being the superior telekinetic however.

On the other hand TPM Kenobi has held him own against Maul, and was briefly able to overwhelm him and destroy his weapon. Bastila has no feats that suggest she's in his league as a duelist.
Bastila likewise was briefly able to hold her own against Malak, though not as impressive as the Maul thing. Kenobi's rage amped feat is hardly representative of what he's capable normally, though it does demonstrate he's impressive in lightsaber combat. Kenobi's superiority in lightsaber combat is the reason I never said Bastila could take him, just that she could hold him off.

I would agree that Barriss' performance against Anakin's suggests superiority, but Ahsoka's ability to contend with the likes of Ventress and Grievous, and high praise as an exceptional combatant suggest the gap between them is not at all large.
No but it's still there, and Barriss would still defeat her 1v1.

You grossily underestimate Kanan, who I'm remind you was capable of defeating the Grand Inquisitor,
Yes and this has been brought to my attention by Syndicate and King Joker and it's a point I freely concede.

he's frankly more skilled and powerful than Ahsoka, and can contend with Bariss.
This is where I stop agreeing with you. Barriss and Ahsoka contending with the likes of Grievous Ventress and Anakin is far more impressive than throwing down with the inquisitors.

Combined with Ahsoka and she'll be soundly defeated.
I concede Barriss's defeat in such a contest as well.

I give this to Team 2, Anakin will pin Zannah down long enough for the other Jedi to come to his aid, or if Anakin falls, defeat her with numbers.
I'm uncertain at this point. It depends on what ends first between Zannah and Anakin and Barriss and the padawan duo, which I'm unsure of atm.
