That would be the best. Why?
2. The AI won't make stupid things, like moving with his pretender from province to province ALONE. The AI is always loosing his pretender very fast. I don't understand that what is the AI is doing with his pretender anyways...IT is always moving it..
Locking a pretender in his castle makes it susceptable to other tactics although they would at least be later-game tactics.

If the AI has a combatant pretender then he should use it. Thats its purpose and its not disastrous to lose it in combat. As far as the moving it around I think what happens is that the pretender leaves home early with an army but is quickly the only survivor left. What seems to be lacking is not that the pretender shouldnt leave home but that it should recognize when to get reinforcements.
