Saruman definitely didn't stay in Middle-earth - the Unfinished Tales say "[...] Curunír was cast down, and utterly humbled, and perished at last by the hand of an oppressed slave; and his spirit went whithersoever it was doomed to go, and to Middle-earth, whether naked or embodied, came never back".

Never read Unfinished Tales. Is it better than The Silmarillion?

It's different. The Silmarillion tries to tell the whole story from beginning to the end (heavily edited / retold by Christopher Tolkien); the Unfinished Tales select a few stories and give Tolkien's original text, which is more detailed than the Silmarillion, but also very fragmentary, and needs clarifying comments by Christopher Tolkien.
