This could have actually fit in and would have been a interesting arc for the protagonist wondering why someone would save his life.
Well that is a version Neil that is "younger" than the Neil that eventually meets Protag in Mumbai (I say "younger" instead of "earlier" because Stalsk-12 is also earlier as well), so he still has to meet him and do all that jazz as well.
Nolan needed to shoot in a different location for the final battle, because that's after The Algorithm has been assembled, it makes sense that Sator would find Plutonium 241 there and Protag would understand that's where he would try and bury The Algorithm, and they needed a pincer battle which the opera house siege was not.
I know what you mean though, it would have had nice poetry and symmetry.

I'm sure that every agent has been holding a fake pill forever without knwing, and the first to take it before talking will basically be placed into Tenet.That means they were constantly monitoring every single CIA agent who was given the fake pill. What if they ended up in Sator's hands and they got their balls shoved into their windpipes? They got to him in time and they knew he took the pill. It is implied that someone betrayed the CIA team so maybe someone was working for the Ukrainians and gave them the Plutonium and then Sator found the team killed them off.
Perhaps. All we know for sure is they didn't only give a fake to Protag, s his was discarded and he took the other guy's. We also know they were only put there as a result of an older version of Protag forming Tenet, and perhaps being the one to make the fake occur.
I'd think Tenet would want "dead loyalists" though, so to let some die and not others would kind of be ruuuude!
