** I think the obvious answer is that Jedi telepathy simply isn’t perfect. It takes Jedi great amounts of concentration to probe even just a single person’s mind, and most of the time they only catch fleeting thoughts and feelings at best. The most successful demonstrations of the power in the franchise tend to occur between characters who are connected in some way and with one actively trying to project their thoughts out—the most apparent examples of this being Luke sending his location to his (unbeknownst to either of them) twin sister Leia in TESB, and when Darth Vader manages to sense the existence of Luke’s sister Leia from his son Luke’s mind. Both of those examples feature both characters having a special connection, even if they don’t know about it, and at least one actively projecting the thought that gets read, even if in the latter Luke is trying to resist doing so and failing in a classic “Trying not to think about this thing makes you think about it” fashion, and Cad Bane doesn’t apply to either condition.

** We do now have the answer to this question, so for the sake of completion: Ahsoka [[spoiler:left the Order while still a Padawan. Since it is indeed a requirement for a Jedi Knight to train a Padawan to Knighthood to be eligible for the rank of Jedi Master,]] this is the reason that Anakin could not be promoted even after attaining a seat on the Jedi Council.

*** Arguably, it's a combination of two factors. One, Anakin isn't acting to save the many, but out of his attachment to Ahsoka (the same attachment that will become WHY HE BECAME DARTH VADER). Two, because Force Choke is VERY explicitly laid out as a Dark Side power, using the Force to hurt and/or kill, whereas Mind Tricks are considered a neutral/Light power, and the strain is purely on Cad Bane for trying to fight it off.

Added a response to Fives' death.

*** Poster of the first answer here - yeah, I should've clarified that Fox shot to kill specifically because Palpatine would have ordered him to. Poor phrasing on my part. Anyway, remember, the clones are fiercely loyal to the chain of command (except when there's clear evidence that said command is treasonous and/or unfit for duty, such as General Krell), and though the Jedi and guys like Tarkin manage the GAR in wartime matters (i.e. military campaigns), Palpatine is commander-in-chief of the GAR and leader of the Republic itself, so his word supersedes that of the Jedi. If Anakin had said "Don't shoot" or "Shoot on stun", I'm almost certain Fox still would have shot to kill Fives, because his initial orders came from the highest-ranking individual in the entire Republic, and though Anakin outranks Fox, he doesn't outrank Palpatine. Additionally, you have to remember that Fox is essentially a cop (as with the rest of the Coruscant Guard), and thus would be likely be trained to quickly neutralize an armed threat if the situation escalates (which it did when Fives drew one of Rex's pistols on the squad sent to arrest him). Yes, he ''could have'' set his gun on stun, but see what I said about Palpatine trying to silence Fives. Fives attempting to shoot Fox was a convenient excuse for Fox to kill him, whereas if Fox had just shot Fives while he was completely defenseless and not threatening anybody, then that would be a different matter that would ''definitely'' raise suspicion.

*** Palpatine didn’t shoot him. Commander Fox did. Did Palpatine order Fox to kill Fives even when he could easily and safely be arrested? Why would Fox obey such a clearly illegal order? This was well before Order 66 was activated. And why wouldn’t Anakin and Rex and the other clones respond by arresting Fox?
