Well lets not ignore the fact that Kanan was Force gripped in the first place, which only helped line Kanan up for the shot, I'm not seeing how it would have had any effect on his physical endurance. Noting that the first time he was only saved by Zeb catching him.
Why is the Fifth Brother gripping Kanan with the Force a mark against him, or relevant when discussing who's the better combatant between Kanan and the Sister? The point with Kanan being Force-gripped is that it's hardly representative of how the fight between Kanan and the S.S. would have continued if the Fifth Brother didn't intervene. Not to mention, the Seventh Sister's first kick against Kanan was actually in a pitched duel - her second kick is when Kanan was hovering above the ground defenseless, and she was a decent distance away from Kanan before lunging at him. In a pitched fight, her KO-kick is very unlikely to be replicated, unless she jumps at Kanan from like 5-10 feet and he fails to dodge or counter.

Concerning Soresu, a fair point, but that didn't stop him going all out offensive against the Inquisitor in their final battle, so I wouldn't say he's restricted it, nor can we be sure it follows the same principles as Legends Soresu in the new Canon.
I think he's more extensively trained in Soresu, so it would probably be his go-to in most scenarios. And SW: AEYNTK says that Soresu is a defensive form, specialized for tight quarters, so Kanan was almost certainly using Soresu during his fight with the Seventh Sister.

If she's able to knock him out with the kick or BFR with the Force, it could well do so.
I don't think she's capable of doing that in a 1v1, frankly (especially the BFR with the Force).

Don't get me wrong I find it unlikely the Inquisitor would win, I'm only arguing that he wouldn't prove at all easy to defeat.
Maybe it wouldn't be 'easy', but I doubt that it'd be
too difficult, either.

Considering with said analytical skills he's able to identify any Jedi's fighting style in 10 seconds, and even identify who taught them, that's hardly a detriment to his skill, very few lightsaber duelists have shown comparable ability, if any.
Of course it isn't a detriment to his skill and it is very impressive, but the fact remains that his natural ability as a fighter is lacking, and I don't think his familiarity with Depa's form that he studied from the Jedi Archives is suitable when facing the real deal. He was effective against Kanan because he hadn't used a lightsaber in years, and Kanan had doubts about himself as a person and had fears to exploit. Once he overcame his fear, the Inquisitor was baby-shaked.

She'd probably be less phased, yet at the same time double-bladed lightsabers have been described as a threat to even experienced masters.
The Inquisitors aren't really good enough to wield a legitimate double-bladed lightsaber, so I'm not sure if the Inquisitor could garner the same results as someone who is a master of a regular double-bladed lightsaber against a Jedi Master such as Billaba.
