Apparently they know Organa and Kenobi are close friends, so it makes sense that he goes to save his friend's daughter. It's very weird that they find Obi Wan and discover they can bait him out of hiding and ultimately do nothing about it because of course he's alive in episode IV.
If they're smart they're going to have the last episode end with it being ambiguous on whether or not Kenobi is dead or not.
Also something like that would play right into the Emperor's hands as well. Because he can forbid Vader from wasting his time searching for a dead man while Vader is still paranoid that the only the man he is actually afraid of is still out there.

"Go deliver the message to this dude that lives in the middle of nowhere on tatooine, he fought in the clone wars.
And it's also the same guy that saved you when you were kidnapped lol"
At least as far as episode 2 she doesn't know his name. And to be fair dude does age horribly in the next ten years.
In the show she says that Bail Organa and Obi-Wan were close during the war, which is why she kidnapped his daughter.
I still think it was a dumb shot in the dark. If they really are that close, why hasn't the empire used Bail Organa to bait Kenobi out before?
