I don't know what his intentions were for not resisting arrest in Splinter, but maybe it isn't so out of character for Luke.
And by extension, Luke rubbed-off on Leia, so she went along with it.
But you must remember that in ROTJ he was specifically trying to get close to Vader in order to try and convince him to turn back to the good side. In that context, it makes sense--if he had fought his way in, he would've just ended up fighting and killing Vader, which isn't what he wanted.
In Splinter, he just decides the odds are more than he can handle. I guess some of the mistakes made in that book are forgiveable considering that it was written before Empire Strikes Back came out, but still things like this made it not feel like Star Wars to me.
