It was only after the prodding from the Emperor that Luke realized it was the wrong path to take.

It's entirely believable that he would have at least a momentary thought of ending someone so likely to cause pain and torment across the universe. The ol' "would you kill Hitler if you had the chance?" ethical argument. Everyone should at least consider it, and Luke does for a brief period of time and then reconsiders.
Luke surrenders to Vader with the intention to turn him to the light side, just as Rey turns herself in to Kylo.

The only moment of anger he shows against his fight with Vader is when he mentions that he will try to turn Leia if Luke does not. Once he disarms him, he stops.
