Obi-Wan has gone up one level from Episode I to Episode III, but it’s a huge jump from one level to another. It’s not just about a style of fighting—it’s mental as well. Anakin has gone up probably four levels from Episode II to Episode III. So he’s gone beyond Obi-Wan, but he hasn’t gone beyond him mentally.
Damn.

Didn't he dodge their TK hit. And then blocked his Tk hit- S6 TCW
So Dooku's evidently still stronger than both of them, this being one season away from RotS. It being really a stretch of not an impossible stretch, to argue he went from that to Yoda level in such a short space of time.
But then TK was never Anakin's strong suit. Funny how that all changed with Vader. 🙂

Just because they don't go very far doesn't mean it wasn't enough of an impact to knock them out. If a boxer punched you you wouldn't go flying but you might go night night.
A punch from a boxer is a very specific, high velocity impact. Understandable that, when struck in the proper area, you'll lose consciousness.
Not remotely like what we see here in terms of TK, which has a far greater area of effect. It's more of a throw.

True Anakin never displayed Tk on Dooku's level (on a consistent basis anyway), which is proof enough he wouldn't be normally capable of challenging Sidious or Yoda, given Sidious can even Force choke Dooku.
As for Anakin v Dooku fights, don't forget they were stalemating in DD which would still be a few months prior to ROTS. Also Skywalker may not have the command of Tk that Dooku has, but has shown his force defences tend to hold up better than the likes of Obi-Wan's. Plus he's force choked Ventress which is pretty good.
But yeah seems Skywalker's "unlimited" power in the Force is mainly applied via Saber combat.
Not surprising he's a TK prodigy as Vader though, given as Anakin he did show he has the ability there (overpowering Son and Daughter), so was likely just a matter of time before he mastered that aspect of the Force.
