Actually, he was ordered to keep the body (you heard when you passed out Pendelton said "we need the body [to proof him as the masked felony that is responsible for the assailants]") so by drifting you away he's already betraying order that makes him wanted by the conspiracy (that's why "kill on sight" on the general notice). If he takes Corvo with him to safer place like you said, he thinks they would definitely find out, but in flooded district he knows that no guard would risk themselves looking there so he sent you there, that's the best he can do.

As for Daud, I think they found him by coincidence. Otherwise Samuel won't put the weapon box with Corvo that would be thrown away by Daud anyway.
