Palpatine saved Darth Vader on Mustafar because Vader was an invaluable, powerful tool for galactic control, a symbol of fear, and represented a massive investment of training.

In current canon, Plagueis is a legend Palpatine uses to lure Anakin, and the exact nature of Anakin's conception by the Force remains a mystery, though he had no conventional father.
