Obi-Wan doesn't have the strength he used to, and he definitely doesn't have Vader's strength. But he hasn't been idle all this years. He hasn't been sitting guard after Luke with nothing to protect him with.
He calmly pushes back, blade screaming against blade, relying as much on his mastery of the Force than mere muscle, and much more than he ever did as a younger Jedi.
It's not going to hold long against Vader, but it's enough to give him room to stand when Vader leaps backwards. It's enough to rally and swing, as slow as Vader and not as strong, but enough. Enough to meet what remains of his former student, and hopefully enough to keep this from harming anyone else.
It's not hard to deduce what he's angry about.
"I dared protect him, Vader."
He places his feet so he can swing away from the booth, and so his heels are angled towards the back door.
