Probst was doing his best to diffuse the situation and get Brandon out of the game and away from others as quickly as possible. There was no way he was sending Brandon back to camp to await tribal council. The best way was to allow Brandon to vent, pull himself from the game and try to calm down enough to get him away from everybody. Even when Probst sent him off he gave him detailed instructions of where to go and what to do. I'm guessing that even at that time he wasn't 100% sure Brandon wouldn't just suddenly snap and go directly for Phillip.
Honestly this was probably one of the best demonstrations as to why not many people could ever host Survivor and why the show is likely done when Probst says it's done.
