the battle did continue, but not saber to saber. once maul had only one blade, obi was all up in his face. sure, maul managed to launch as many attacks as obi, bit the fact remains that had maul not used the force push, he would have been forced into the laser gate. moments before he force pushed obi away, all he is doing is blocking and backing away, into the laser gate. obi had the upper hand at the time, and i am sure he would have kept it, as he was more accustomed to fighting with one blade, whereas maul, while capable of fighting with only one, was much more comfortable with two.
I have no idea what makes you think Maul was less good with one- looked damn fine to me.
The fact is, Obi-Wan DID get pushes and that was because he let himself get lured into being off-balance. In fact, Maul was doing just fine mere seconds after having the sabre bisected. Obi-Wan was too angry and lost focus.

Without a doubt Dooku would defeat Maul. Yes, Maul was lethal with his saber, but compared to Dooku's style, Count would prevail. Look at the skill that comes out of Dooku when he duels with Yoda. Count's saber skills definetely exceed that of Maul's. Maul uses more of a martial arts style while Dooku uses the force. Plus, Dooku appears to be more experienced and just because he's old doesn't have anything to do with it. It's the will of the force and the force is much stronger with Dooku than with Maul.
Yes, I don't even think that Darth Maul can defeat Yoda.
Dooku is probably one of the most powerful jedi.

Wait you forgot one thing! It took two jedi too kill maul even one died! If Qui Gon wouldnt tire out Maul and make him loose one lightsaber then Obiwan would be dead meat! But still! Look Count DOoku and Yoda were like the same level when they were fighting in Episdoe two! Sooo Qui Gon jin and obiwon were just jedi knights and Obi Wan was just a padawan! SO one jedi master and a padawan could defeat maul but if count dooku is like Yoda he should be the top of the jedi council so theres no telling of what Yoda could do to Maul! He would kill him for sure! But dookus on the same level so he will do the same.
