If I can, allow me to weigh in on something from my perspective here.
You keep going on and on about becoming Diablo's subordinate and such, and how it's something that some characters (maybe even most characters) would never do. But the thing is, what exactly is it that becoming Diablo's subordinate entails, exactly? What is it that happens when you hand out that "yes" to the big bad evil man and he sends you back topside? For all we know, since no one (IC, at least) has actually returned from the Underverse (that we're aware of), becoming "an agent of his (Diablo's) unfathomable schemes", as taken straight from the Underverse escape quest....could just mean the fact he's sending you back.
Making a message "there IS a way out of the Underverse." Of course it could very well be more than that. It could also be only that. We don't know at this juncture. (Aside from Proto and Omni, maybe.)
And even disregarding all of that, it's already been said you can lie and try to trick the big man, and assuming you do, there's no guarantee he would find out you did so. It wouldn't be that much of a surprise if he DID, but again, there's no guarantee that he would, once again making that worry a moot point beyond speculation purposes.
There's also the worry you posed earlier about once you DO escape the Underverse, people that banished you finding out. Of course that's a worry, but that's the nature of the beast. They're going to be scared/curious/amazed/terrified/enraged/whatever that you escaped, of course, but just as there's every chance they might decide to take the jump and try to banish or get rid of you again before you can take any revenge you might have planned, there's every chance they might be afraid it wouldn't do anything again.
Especially because escaping the Underverse every subsequent time is easier than the first, since you already know the way out.
And let me just toss out an opinion on the subject of a physical way out, such as through a one-way void gate or the like...if there is one, who is to say it isn't in Diablo's palace/castle/whatever? If he did know of it, I imagine he'd keep it close at hand, and not hand off guarding it to any of his subordinates since he is, quite literally, the most powerful thing in the entire Underverse.
These are just my personal thoughts.
