I didn't like it either, but:
Harry has taken him out, in the most effective way possible. The existence of the Horcrux network means that the death penalty is not an effective punishment or removal method.
No, but moderating the memory charm is foolishness. He isn't even remotely proficient with that charm. He should either have gotten expert help, or gone for a total wipe.
I think I would have just transfigured him into the jewel without doing the memory charm until much later, but on reflection I think that given Harry's uncertainty about how V's mind transfer system works, doing a substandard memory charm now is better than not doing one at all.
