In response to Assassin help I actually don't think they would not have revealed themselves because the assassins specialize in stealth. As for any of them not knowing Shaun could have sent a message for help and it would been a good way to see the other characters from Initiates. And the Apple it is a powerful object I think the Templars could have expected some resistance.
