Lee also wanted to test his gates out on Neji, so since Lee has not fought him since gaining the gates, as far he knew he was still stronger. I also don't recall him saying Neji was stronger than him in part 2.

And to answer your other question. Yes, I do believe Neji part 1 could defeat Asuma. Has way better feats.
