I still don't get why Radomus did the whole butler thing with El. Like couldn't he have gotten the brooch from him without inviting him to the manor? El was already hypnotized in the aerie. In fact why didn't he take it then?

Note that at this point Luna still has the brooch, he's taking the Amethyst Pendant off El.
A possible theory (but of course it's a lot of speculation) is that (spoilers for the next story part, but I think you're past that)
SpoilerRadomus wants El to have the brooch.
You're right, and even after El shakes off the hypnosis, it looks pretty clear that Radomus could have rescued Luna in a heartbeat without us. So: why didn't he? Because he wanted a certain outcome to be achieved instead. And the only significant outcomes of that arc seem to be the brooch, the pendant and Bennett.
I don't think Radomus has any particular interest in (or particularly cares for) Bennett.
Although Gossip Gardevoir gets to mock Bennett in front of everyone so perhaps that could have been a bonus?It also seems a bit contrived to allow an unpredictable hostage situation just to get a jewel that was already in his hands. The MC wouldn't have "seriously" reclaimed it even if Radomus chose to keep it.
So the brooch remains. I think I can find a deeper reason, but that's more story spoilers.
But even then, it doesn't quite make sense (why not just give El the brooch?).
