If Michael cared so little about Fredo's death, as you describe, then why would he care if he got out of Havana? Why not just leave him behind, and hope that maybe the rebels would do his dirty work for him? I think that the fact that he tried to get Fredo out shows that he was undecided at that moment.
Leaving Fredo behind was no guarantee that he would be killed.
Roth got out, and Michael knew that Fredo was involved with Roth.

Then why did Michael wait so long to ask Fredo what he knew about the Senate hearings?
He didn't wait.
The hearings took place after Havana. Michael asked Fredo what he knew about them while they were still taking place.
He was leaving nothing to chance.
