Actually, we don't know if Tenseigan retains all the abilities of the Byakugan, and even if it does, then the blindspot must still exist, there's no way to eliminate it completely. And about sucking out chakra, Toneri doesn't seem to be very smart in this regard, since he enganged Naruto in close combat before absorbing his chakra, and in this combat he was utterly defeated and even lost his Tenseigan, instead of absorbing his chakra right after chashing with him. The attemp to suck out Naruto's chakra was just a desperate attemp to win the battle which was already lost.
