Well technically what they said to Bane was "You will take us to the holocron", so more of a control thing
However Vader did fail to get information from Leia. In fact he had torture her. But still getting it from Luke was Impressive. So I dunno. Just another inconsistent ability I guess.
But I wouldn't put it past Bane to know Resisting techniques. The Bounty Hunters in the PT were generally better prepared to tackle Jedi.

Luke was overwhelmed by emotions and couldn't control his mind:
Luke withdrew further into shadow. He tried to hide, but there was no way to hide what was in his mind - Leia was in pain. Her agony cried to him now, and his spirit cried with her. He tried to shut it out, to shut it up, but the cry was loud, and he couldn't stifle it, couldn't leave it alone, had to cradle it openly, to give it solace.
—Return of the Jedi
Obviously if Luke actively resists then Vader wouldn't have had a chance. Earlier Luke almost resisted Sidious' attempt to use DK on him.
"Despite his fear, Finn raised the beam to defend himself. Ren lunged, struck—and Finn parried. Shards of light flew, illuminating the snow and the surrounding vegetation. Drawing back slightly, Ren considered his unexpectedly determined opponent, then resumed his assault with a vengeance. Finn blocked him again and again, once letting the other man’s beam slide against his own and harmlessly off to one side. He counterattacked, to no avail. The longer the contest continued, the stronger Ren seemed to become. It was as if he was enjoying the challenge. Feeding upon it. At least, it appeared so until Finn parried, swung, and unexpectedly stabbed, the tip of his lightsaber beam grazing Ren’s arm. That made it more than a challenge. Taking a step back, Ren reconsidered his opponent. When he closed the distance between them anew, it was with a purpose that had been previously lacking. Expecting an execution, he had found a contest. Now he had been touched. It was time for play to end. Advancing relentlessly, he was driven by something that Finn could not even sense, far less counter. Still the ex-trooper fought back, until Ren landed a blow that cut across Finn’s chest and sent the lightsaber flying from his hand. It landed in the snow six meters distant."

You mean the force sensitive Atton Rand?But yeah, perhaps. I generally try to forget that game.

Toying? In what dimension? Also confirmed it seems as though Kylo was becoming stronger as the battle continued. I can also post snippets of the Rey fight.
It says Kylo seemed to be "enjoying" the fight and later on says it was "play".
So yes, toying is exactly what was going on.
