As for Miss M, Nightwing never expected her to mind-rape Kaldur, because he didn't know she had been doing it to anyone else. He likely wasn't paying attention to Gar on the way back from the Reach ship, as he had other things on his mind. Aqualad was never meant to remain the leader (the plan was always for Robin/Nightwing to take over, as seen in Season 1), his mission has benefited them HIGHLY, and he knew she'd done it to Psimon and to the Kroloteans. He doesn't blame her because she didn't know, and she thought he'd killed her friend.

You're right that Nightwing knew Miss M had mind-raped Psimon, but he did not know she had done it to the kroloteans. Superboy knew, and Martian Manhunter noticed. As for Batman, he knew for a long time and realized it was for the best. After all, he knows everything, he's the Batman!
