1. I believe one of the rebels retcons indicated Ahsoka had improved as a fighter. Also, IRRC, the ahsoka novel has her undergo some power growth (after her inital fight with maul) tho i have no idea if that's still considered canon.
2. Well Maul was looking for sith artifacts and he found himself on a sith temple. In legends characters tended to grow more powerful over time, but canon hasn't made that explicit.
Though I do think Filoni commented that Rebels Maul was angrier and more hate-filled than we had previously seen him, which could have bolstered his connection to the dark side. We also know that he had been studying/practicing some of the more esoteric abilities of the dark side(like when he used Dathomirian magics with Ezra.)
So I think it's entirely possible that his power had grown over the time between TCW and Rebels... But again, that's just my two cents.

Honestly, I figured that Maul kind of withered away. His mastery and knowledge of the force has likely increased and he has gained some new tricks. But from a pure combat perspective, I think he isn't what he once was.
You could argue that Sidious was out of practice when he fought Savage and Maul, because he hadnt used his lightsabers in over a decade. But that obviously doesnt mean his power or saber skill as of TCW & ROTS was intended to have decreased. If anything he was better then ever.
I know Maul isn't Sidious, but the same basic concept should still apply for him IMO.
