Did Darth Vader regret his actions?
He was terribly conflicted emotionally this entire time, and it's pretty clear he regretted what he did from the beginning. Vader didn't regret killing the jedi at all even when luke was in the picture Vader never cared about the the jedi.
Did Anakin regret killing Tuskens?
He regrets all that he has done to make him what he becomes, I'm guessing that includes slaughtering the seperatists and the tusken raiders. Of course I do agree that the Tuskens were savages and needed to be stopped, due to the fact that they kidnapped and tortured not only Shmi but probably countless others.
Does Darth Vader feel guilt?
So yes, Anakin did feel guilty for what he did at the Jedi Temple. Yes. There are two moments in Revenge of the Sith that illustrate this. The first is when he is slaughtering the Separatist council.
Why was Shmi tortured?
Reddit user Steinrikur theorizes was Palpatine “staged the attack and delivered Shmi to the [Tusken Raiders] to torture.” The implication is that Palpatine likely bribed (or likely threatened) the Tuskens to take Anakin's mother so as to fuel his anger and fully commit himself to the Dark side.
Why did they take Anakin's mom?
Anakin discovered that a moisture farmer named Cliegg Lars had bought Shmi from Watto, freed her, and married her. But when he visited the Lars farm, he learned Tusken Raiders had kidnapped his mother. Anakin found Shmi, but she died in his arms. Giving in to his rage, he slaughtered the Tuskens who had taken her.
