He was still swinging him around by the tail though, it's not like it came off easily.
Yeah I have no idea on this one. Like why would he try it in the first place if he knew that he could cut it off? And then to further that point, why the fuck would they try it against Nappa a year later?
Perhaps it was hard to do it, so he tried negotiating with Goku first.

1. Because by begging he could get free without losing his tail. Cutting the tail is probably a last resort.
2. I don’t understand this question. Goku went for the full nelson because the tail grab was too risky.
As for why Goku even bothered grabbing it, that was their only choice. Same for Nappa, but Piccolo just thought Gohan could end Nappa before he cut his tail.

Yeah you didn't understand it. I'm asking how Raditz can cut off his own tail when he's locked in that position.

It's just a dumb contrivance so Gokuu would have to sacrifice his life.
It was also pretty stupid that it didn't occur to anyone that these evil Saiyans might have trained their tails like Gokuu did as a child. Raditz, Nappa, and Vegeeta knew a lot more about their race than Gokuu did, so you'd think they'd have trained their tails.

If h e grabs it he's letting go of the full Nelson. He's barely controlling him, so it's too late to switch.
He didn't cut off his tail because it's a last ditch resort to do so. It's not like it grows back immediately if he wants it for his future missions. It probably hurts too, and maybe affects his balance. He was waiting as late as possible to cut it. It's preferable if he can talk his way out. The makankosappo never actually came his way (if it was even ready. Can't remember), so it wasn't as late as possible.
After the tail grab he had defeated Goku, so there was so longer any threat. Deal with Goku, then kill Piccolo. Easy. He never imagined Gohan would headbutt him.

Also initially Raditz was too strong to grab. Gohan weakened him and made it possible.
