Note that it doesn't succeed very often. Resisted by both Magic Resistance and Morale, IIRC. The succubus then fights and usually has little problem. A non-demonic seductress would probably not make a good assassin, so that would be a major difference in their effectiveness compared to a succubus.

The teleportation home is a stretch though - perhaps a reason then to make them somehow require gems, or be expensive, to account for the magic required to get them home.

Yes, Courtesans should be vastly inferior to succubi as combatants but decent seductresses to male humans. And they bring the commanders "home" not by flying (dont forget: the Succubus seduces non-flying creatures as well, and no commander in the game grants other commanders flying abilities; and a succubus can bring commanders back from over 50 provinces away, and noone flies that fast) but rather under that commander's own power. The fact that they could move 15 squares per turn or whatever just needs to be fictionalized away.

Side note: The term "Vizier" I used because the translation of 1001 Nights I have translates the title of Scheherezad's father as "Wesir", which is pretty much a 1-to-1 rendering of the word in German. Dont know what it was in the original.
