And as to why he doesn't pull out the stops on Anakin the way he did Obi Wan during the ROTS duel is beyond me, unless he somehow knew and was OK with taking the fall for the team, but that's never hinted at and its too big a conjecture to make with what's presented.

Yoda grabs for the pillar. Dooku cuts him down. Pillar drops, crushing Obi-Wan and Anakin. Dooku heads out before Padme's LAAT can catch him.
Alternate, realistic scenario #2 for AOTC:
Dooku chivalrically (out of respect for Yoda, that he didn't have for Obi-Wan or Anakin) lets Yoda live, and heads for his ship. Yoda tosses the pillar on top of Dooku or his ship, killing him (or at least preventing his escape by disabling the ship). The Jedi dust themselves off and Grievous has to take over the Seperatists 3 years early.

I would have actually been willing to accept the plot inconsistency of Yoda's death just so I could see Dooku slice Yoda's head off. Could you imagine how great that scene would be? Everyone is thinking "Yoda's fighting, he's the greatest Jedi ever", and then have him killed within seconds of fighting. Oh, and while Yoda dies, Anakin and Obi-Wan roll out of the way of the pillar just in time.

Dooku ,in my opinion, from what I've seen and read, should have been portrayed as more of a double agent. Working against Palpatine from the inside as best he could, and trying to improve the galaxy and weed out corruption in the Republic (using the war to do such things). Eventually he is caught and confronted by Sidious where he dies by some means or another (thereby making him a hero, but I'm also of the thought that there ought to be more than two Sith at a time).

Yoda dying actually wouldn't have been that big of a deal when compared with all the other massive plot-holes and inconsistencies between the trilogies...

the correct answer is: if he'd thrown his sabre at him, run up and cut his head of, or force lighteninged him... anikan would have died. And i'm pretty sure d00ku was in the l00p on that one.
still... if he'd zaped yoda, he would have flinched and anikan and obiwan would have been crushed...
and no matter what palpatine would have instructed me to do...
i would have done it for the comedy value. and yoda would have survived and felt like an ass.

Dooku isn't a Sith. He's a rogue Jedi who was tired of the nonsense taking place in the Jedi Council. He is exactly, as you pointed out, that of a rebellious aristocrat... although, sometimes he can be a bit malicious toward weaker opponents. He views Obi-Wan and Anakin as being beneath him... especially after watching Anakin's ridiculous antics of using two lightsabers. If Dooku were an animal, he would be an eagle. An eagle soars high above everything, so sometimes, the pigeons below seem to be a bit pedestrian. It is Dooku's belief that if you can't get the job done with one lightsaber, why would you need two? He trained Grievous in the Jedi arts and he was even more resentful when Grievous would use three or four sabers when sparring with the Magnaguards. He is a man of chivalry and nobility, so he spared killing Yoda out of respect for his former Master.
