I am going to take a leap of faith in that he made Vader believe his kids were dead and/or not pursue them

I don't think you have to take a leap of faith on that one

He was told his pregnant wife had died (by his hand after choking her) - that's the context of this scene



Palpatine lied and told Vader his wife (and by extension the kids, even though he didn't realize she was pregnant with twins) was dead by the hand of Vader to manipulate Vader to the darkside

Obiwan told Luke that his father was dead by the hands of Vader as well - to convince him to kill Vader because no one else could except Obiwan, of course, because he whipped his arse. So really, Obiwan just wanted to spend time with children.
