For your second: Even on Neutral Route he doesn't kill you cause you killed his brother, He just curses you that's all. Only on Genocide tries to kill you.

The reason he doesn't fight you in neutral runs is not because he isn't compassionate, it's because he knows there is no point. After all, you can always reset. It makes it " hard to give it his all". He fights you in a genocide run because he can't risk you destroying the timeline. Sure, there is a possibility you'll reset and that you won't destroy the timeline, but he can't risk that.
