Lol. Pushing Vitiate does not equal being superior to VP Vader or Vong Krayt and being comparable to Sidious.
If we look at this logically if Vader had a much greater chance of defeating Muur then he did Sidious he would have allied himself with him if only to replace Sidious with a weaker master that he'd have a better chance of overthrowing.

Or, you know, better the devil you know.
Anyway, the text makes it unclear whether Vader would be victorious or if he were "merely replacing one master for another." Comparatively, as of RotJ, Vader believes he has no chance against Palpatine.
But the fact is that if Muur had been substantially weaker Vader would have simply used him to replace Sidious so that he would have at least been able to weaken whatever Master he did have. He must have thought that whatever gap in power existed between Sidious and Muur wasn't worth the knowledge he already had on Palpatine.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't believe Vader ever thought that it was possibility he'd become the master in his relationship with Muur. His plan was to either use Muur as a tool to get rid of Palpatine but the inherent risk was that Muur would also be too powerful for Vader.
You ability to resist a Force user's influence is directly tied to your power in the Force.
The possibilities were he either resists Muur or he doesn't. If Vader could tap into the Muur talisman and use the power as he will would that not make him the master of it?
Certainly does not seem to be the case with the Muur talisman. But if that's the case, then Vader clearly can resist it as Celeste (an inferior force user) was able to do so.
