This is an all out fight to the death, anything goes, no restrictions.
Both individuals are pulled by the force out of their respective time lines, and put into the middle of space aboard a giant space cruiser. The fight starts at the hanger bay of the battle ship, any and all powers they have at their disposal are allowed.
um, and Sidious isn't? If Nihilus was so powerful, he'd keep his hunger in check. Kinda like how Sora Bulq "let Vaapad master him." Sidious could blitz with his lightsaber, he could (easily) overwhelm him with lightning, he can conceal his connection to the force altogether, etc. He can conceal himself from Nihilus, catch him off-guard, then kill him. Just one of the many possibilities

do we even know the extent that Nihilus's draining goes? Hell he couldn't even drain non force-users, which Palpatine could use through concealment to catch Nihilus off-guard.

Erm, yes. To the extent it can eat planets. And its stated that it kills every living creature on Katarr so I don't know where you're getting that it doesn't work on non-force sensitives.
No he can't. He didn't drain Mandalore. It doesn't follow that he cannot. He tried to drain the party but got fvcked over by the Exile so obviously he wouldn't try it again. Visas says that if he doesn't find Jedi on Telos he'll just drain the entire planet and orbiting station. Hint: the station's population isn't made up of Jedi.
Can destroy a planet by getting angry? Lol. That's going to work wonders when he's standing face to face against a single enemy, while said enemy drains him. Killer rationalization though.
That's the whole point of the force storm, Palpatine channels his rage and unleashes it as the deadly wormhole that rips the space-time continuum. Isn't palpatine also capable of planet-draining powers, though he is more controlled with the use of such an ability?
No, because Vitiate can drain you right there in then. Palpatine's force storm is nowhere near instantaneous and wouldn't be of much help in a 1 on 1 encounter.
