Vader followed Tarkin's orders, and reported to him several times throughout ANH. You are more than welcome to read more into the all you want, but Vader is clearly under the command of a mere human.

You haven't proved that Vader doesn't see Tarkin as any more than a subordintate. So, acording to your logic, if in between Ep III and the end of ANH, (hypothetically) the Emperor were to die of a heart attack, you're thinking is that Tarkin would become Emperor and Vader would still sit there all the while thinking: yes I could force choke this dude, and yes I an the 'chosen one, but I better not since Palps liked him? Correct?

Hmn, that's an interesting question. If the Emperor died, who would take over? I don't think Tarkin would, he didn't have the right "profile" for it, he's more of a manager and commander than a ruler or an emperor... I think Vader would be the Emperor...
