That's kind-of how servants work....

Rin is not stupid enough to leave herself undefended in a Grail War. Aside from Kotomine, any master or servant could just walk up to her and attack.

No, but Archer would be, at least where Kotomine is concerned.

perhaps but that also implies the resolution of archer's issue prior to saving sakura which is unlikely

Not really. Archer still looks out for Rin and wants to protect her, even in UBW. It's only at the end when he completely snaps that he abandons that, and even then he threatens Gil in order to buy her some time. He might still desire to kill Shirou, but that won't be at the expense of Rin's life. Plus, if anything he'd want her to retain Rider, as an insurance policy in case he is forced to break his contract with her. After all, in UBW he did try to set Rin up with Saber....

Yes, perhaps, but not in a way that would harm Rin. He can't be sure Rider will remain loyal to her, for one thing, and he certainly wouldn't trust Kotomine.

Also, to some extent that can be a plot point. Have at least some aspect of Archer breaking his contract with Rin, and then have Kotomine try to take Rider, only for Sakura to take her back at the opportune moment.

interesting idea although in order to make it useful it needs to have kirei use rider effectively before then.

Well, yeah, which is tricky since Sakura is hardly going to let him use Rider to harm Shirou.

Well, it's possible, although we have to work out how that would happen, particularly if she found out that Rin had obtained and then lost the book....
