I doubt she is in any way superior to Wolverine, being as he's 100+ years old and she's about 15. Beyond that, though: in that situation, Kurt was already prepared and ready, and X-23 was certainly making it easy for him with that obvious attack.
X-23, at that point, had never encountered the X-Men before, and therefore couldn't have known what Nightcrawler was going to do. Wolverine, on the other hand, ought to have a very good idea of what Nightcrawler's abilities are. They've been working closely together for years, afterall.

People go by the weight it takes to move the body, but its really that musles that are stronger lose flexibility, and muscles that are stronger, move faster, factor in weight, and you'll see kurt has the perfect combo.
So by your own logic, flexibility does not equal speed. Kurt may be more flexible, but that in itself makes him no quicker then the bulkier Logan.
Of course, muscles that are more flexible will lose strength: ergo, in the real world, that ultra-flexible spine of Kurt's would give him a strength disadvantage, much like the fast but brittle Cheetahs of the Savannah. But that's not how it works: a guy who does Kurt's feats of acrobatism must have incredible strength in his back, legs, etc.
Likewhise, it may not pass that having an ultra-heavy skeleton would grant you excessive strength and speed in the real world, but that's how it goes in the comics. You're certainly not going to allow Nightcrawler his own conceits and deny Logan his, right?
Of course, if it's Kurt's objective to simply pummel Logan, he can do so at near will. Fat load of good it would do him, though: if he keeps his guard up, Wolverine is quick enough to prevent Kurt from reaching under his jaw/over his collar bone, under his arms or any other vital regions, meaning Kurt has to attack the hard parts of Logan like his chest, flanks, arms, face. Those are the adamantium parts Kurt will just break his hands and feet on.

Well, it would go like this:*BAMF* Grab *BAMF* Let go two miles up in the air *BAMF*
I don't think it would take more then 3 secs...
I seriously doubt he has that kind of range. The best he might do is 1/2 a mile up in the air: still enough to kill Wolverine, if he tried that tactic. The problem is, even if it just takes him .5 seconds to hover in the air and teleport back, he's already falling, and that kinetic energy stays with him when he teleports back to the ground (so he winds up just as flat.)

Its 2 miles last i heard, which isn't far, except in the air.
If he lands with his feet on logans neck, like a scissors hold, but from above, he can definitely do it, logan should have a harder time hitting, nightcrawler, than otherwise, if logan gets a good swipe, ( not the legs in the hold I mentioned.) thats his only victory, both are one trick pony types, if ya knwo what I mean.
