Any Jedi can blitz another if they're distracted, lol. Which is why Vader tried to maintain his focus, because he reckoned that Obi-Wan might blitz him if he got distracted. TPM Obi-Wan blitzed Maul the same way, lol.
Well, it was Vader's fear, which isn't exactly unreasoned given what happened on Mustafar. The fact that sources have stated that Obi-Wan couldn't make any offensive headway and the fact that your own source (Death Star) mentions that Vader blocked most of Obi-Wan's blows effortlessly, IIRC.
In both sources Kenobi mounted offense several times throughout the duel, and while they weren't effective neither would be Mara's. Vader a year before ANH could effortlessly defend a Jar'Kai Juyo user's strikes who can disintegrate frigates.
The notion that Kenobi has shit offense is retarded. He's a master of Ataru, and likely superior than Qui-Gon who was one of the best duelist in the history of the Jedi Order.

Obi-Wan only mounted one successful offense when Vader thought he had him. Everything else was woefully inadequate.
As for the second part - you mean Starkiller? He made far more headway against Vader than Ben did.
Obi-Wan in his prime doesn't have shit offense (heck, it's not "shit" even as an old man), but old Ben Kenobi isn't beating Mara/Kyle etc. by virtue of his offensive skills.
He's never once drawn upon Ataru in ANH and all supplementary sources relating to his duel with Vader only mention his Soresu. Moreover, sources mention that he had physically declined since RotS and grew out of practice, which probably explains why using Ataru wouldn't be the most sensible thing to do.
Qui-Gon doesn't have anything on Mara or Kyle. Ben's superiority over him doesn't put him over either.

Not saying it's shit at all - just that saying that his brief and circumstantial success against Vader through offense doesn't constitute a sustained means of pressing either Mara or Kyle and then bringing them down. Ben's offense isn't enough to break their defense. Now, it's the same the other way around, but I have faith that Mara (maybe even Kyle) has the stamina necessary to wear Kenobi down.
