I consider Revan "ancient" becuase his entire story took place 4000 years before Movie era. However, in terms of Sith he is not one of the Ancient Sith such as Marka and Sadow. The Sith of his time are indeed radicaly different from the Ancient Sith. Much less ceromonial and far more modern in appearance.

Well I interpreted the fight as a win for Yoda and that Dooku knew he couldn't win so he departed. He is clearly not better than Sidous who was not only able to deal with Yoda much better then Dooku was, but was also able to kill 3 jedi masters in a matter of seconds. And in my opinion, Windu was clearly in control of his battle with Sidious and seemed to be in such harmony with the force that he just fought perfectly.
Okay fine.
Sidious knew he couldn't win so he tried to leave.
Sounds just as plausible as what you said.
Dooku left because:
A) He didn't have the time to fight.
B) He didn't want to risk it.
The Jedis Mission is to halt the Sith to go through with future planning. It isn't the Siths job to sit around and duel when they have other Orders to follow through with.
Sidious had the high ground for almost half of the fight with Yoda. He had an advantage. And like you said, you thought Yoda got the upper hand right?
Like I said, Dooku has bested Mace before so the chances of him having the capabilities to do it again are high, especially now that he is a Sith and can fully administer his talents.
