The problem is if Vader had found Obi-Wan he'd prolly have tried to take revenge on him no?

Not necessarily.

First of all, as I said above, if Vader cares about his son's welfare — which, despite being a Sith Lord, I believe he does — there is some value to letting Obi-Wan live.

Second of all, how much more revenge does he need?  The Jedi have been wiped out.  Vader himself personally slaughtered all the younglings at the temple, and Obi-Wan was no doubt close to many of them.  The once great Jedi Master is now damned to live out the rest of his life as a sad old hermit on this pathetic rock called Tattooine.  Isn't that enough?
