Actually Vitiate acted like a PRO in this contest; he didn't grant the Jedi Strike Team a chance to charge him, he quickly bombarded the entire Jedi Strike Team to submission and this was a good decision on his part.
Vitiate's powers aren't easy to handle even for any other individual in the mythos or should expected to be. If Vitiate bogs down the entire Team 1 with his powers, his companions would have ample time for eliminating Team 1.
I disagree.
Revan and his companions couldn't risk a continuous battle against hordes of Vitiate's powerbase with Vitiate continuously augmenting his minions in the process. Revan had decided the entire course of action prior to the actual duel; he would keep Vitiate busy for a while and his companions would attempt to seal the throne room and join him in his effort to assassinate Vitiate.
Unfortunately for Revan, Vitiate was too powerful even for combined might of Revan, Meetra and Scourge and didn't foresee Scourge's betrayal. This have been noted in the novel.

Betraying his allies had not altered the inevitable outcome; the Emperor would have won regardless. At least this way Scourge was still alive to carry on their cause.
It should be clear to everybody that Sith Emperor isn't just better then Revan, he is among the most powerful Force-users in the mythos on the whole.
Sith Emperor is/was so powerful that he 'easily' subdued the Jedi Strike Team led by Tol Braga on a neutral setting.

Do you really know? I am not interested in these kind of baseless presumptions.
- Plagueis couldn't outduel Venamis irrespective of being superior to the latter.
- Luke have struggled against lesser foes several times.
- Caedus almost lost to Mara in a serious encounter.
- Yoda isn't such an overwhelming duelist. Sidious one-shot him actually but wasted the opportunity to kill him.
The Jedi Strike Team, in question here, is one of the best ever assembled. The Jedi in this team are canonically among the most powerful and resolute in the Order's history. Combined might of 4 Force-users of such caliber should be technically/logically enough against majority of challenges in the mythos.

Vitiate would solo the rest of team 1, or team 2 tbh.
Imagine Dark Empire Sidious, not the depowered Clone who lost to Luke, the elderly Clone who corrupted and Leia and dispatched them with hand gestures and summoned Dark Side Wormholes, times a thousand. Then you have Vitiate, who also happened to know far more sorcerer, alchemical, and ritualistic techniques than Sidious.
Vitiate had a millennium to delve into Sith lore, not to mention he absorbed far more life force than did Palpatine in his time.

We don't know this. Scourge even says he doesn't know.
