As for Campbell's branding not being questioned: That's because they don't think it warranted being questioned. Why would they? A LOT of the higher Overseers were being blackmailed, so why would they raise a stink about it when they've been handed an escape to their problems right on a silver platter? Even the lower Overseers know - If you go to the other side of the secret room you'll see a couple of grunts searching through it since they want to take the journal and, possibly, excommunicate him. If he's branded then all the higher ups, the only people who can likely influence the judgement, won't care and are likely dancing in joy that their tormentor is gone.

That and it's implied that a lot of people already knew Campbell was corrupt, even if they weren't aware of the blackmail.
