You expected Anakin to be remotely be thinking about anything else when making out with Padme? LOL. As far as talking to Palps goes? External communications weren't working, who was he going to call? I might grant you the taser thing, though it's not exactly like Anakin didn't already have his hands full at that moment with two other bounty hunters. He's powerful, but not omnipotent. (If I were to question anything in that scene, it's that he doesn't try to mind-trick the fish guy into opening the door, since a previous scene established you don't need eye contact to do it.)
We see even while he's commanding fleets he makes reckless bold choices - the kamikaze stunt at Ryloth, for instance. As of RotS, he's still not totally levelheaded, otherwise he'd never have gone for Palpy's bullshit so easily. That's one of his fatal flaws - that he doesn't grow out of that trait.
