The fact is that in TOT, there were 3 known Jedi prior to Luke and 2 Sith. Even at a padawan skill level, Luke could have kicked some butt. There was no competition.
As to the final confrontation between Vader and Luke, who is to say the emperor wasn't manipulating Vader to keep the duel equal. A Sith master might have feared Vader's power. Vader did turn on his old master in ANH. A Sith master playing 2 off on each other...the Sith way.
