Nihilus (right after Katarr) Vs. Vitiate (right after Nathema)
The fact is Nihilus is stronger in the Force at this point, his connection won't stay as strong for as long, but it is indeed stronger.
Nihilus has no Force Bond with Visas Marr.

What are you even basing this on? Nothing suggests Nihilus is stronger than Vitiate. There's also nothing suggesting that either one of these are going to do anything to the other
Nihilus already had a stronger connection. This is what Malachor V did to him. He survived the effects of the Mass Shadow Generator by instinctually feeding off of his Jedi companions, but the way it was used was so unnatural that it gave him greater preternatural empathy towards the dark side than the Half-Sith Vitiate despite his gaudy displays of power at an early age.
I'm basing it off of the fact that Vitiate didn't even drain an army of Jedi along with Nathema's populace, and he had the aid of eight thousand Sith Lords. This took him months. Nihilus probably did this to Katarr in hours, without any help at all.

Or maybe it takes about an hour to drain a whole planet? We do see people running away and shit so the cloud isn't like, lightspeed and drains the planet in the space of a single word.

The use of the word "Companion" here, is incorrect.
Nihilus wasn't a Jedi, and likely just an average person of some sort.
But yes, surviving the destruction of the Mass Shadow Generator indeed turned him into maelstrom-wormhole of Dark side energy.
It doesn't have anything to do with empathy - Nihilus is not a Force-sensitive Human with MidiChlorians in his blood that determine his feed to the Force.
Nihilus is the walking energetic-embodiment of a black hole in the Force - a maelstrom of Dark side energy that simply feeds, and uses it's own power - and the power of worlds to destroy.
Yup.
Seconds. The few panels indicate it was done within a few moments amount of time; upon utterance.

He didn't "tank" Malachor's destruction, he survived it along with thousands of others. That is not a feat. Though he did just sever the Force from Kreia, and dispatched or mind ****ed any opponent he pleased with his voice alone.

Vitiate needs no help from anybody. He mindrapes anybody he wants, and what he did was far more impressive than what Nihilus did. There's nothing Nihilus can do to him.
- And, the Mass Shadow Generator cracked the planet into pieces - no Human could survive the type of force needed to rip a planet apart.
If the Earth experienced forces powerful enough to rip it into two or three floating pieces - no living thing standing on the surface would survive.
Nihilus survived because of what he turned into, and there were disabled ships around the planet, with survivors, that weren't killed when the planet was ripped apart, because they were in orbit, in ships.
He did tank Malachors's destruction and he was only one to do so.
Keep in mind he did take several functioning ships with him, when he left the dead world - and those ships had survivors in them, before he drained some of them.
So yes, it is a feat.
He was the only survivor on the planet.
