He's prohibited from doing things his "best sincere model" of Promise would do if it involves governance or hurting people. Selective amnesia isn't something his model of her would do, but it's not in either of those categories.
He remembers Promise saying she wanted to make her previous masters forget her name and prevent them from ever collecting another vassal. And he remembers her helping him get free from that fairy who needed destroying, and her willingness to take drastic measures against Yellow if necessary... He stores all his knowledge of her incredibly annoying moral code in the coppermind, along with the knowledge that he has done so. Suddenly, his sincere best model of her is all in favor of capturing Yellow. Conveniently, that's the one fairy whose address he remembers.
He doesn't send Inquisitors. They'd be blind in Fairyland where Allomancy doesn't work, and besides, they're the only way the people on Fairyland-food-collecting duty can get there and back. He sends a squad of Hazekillers instead. They're trained to fight people with superpowers, and would have the best chance of capturing a fairy. He even has some Inquisitors lend them some Hemalurgic spikes before flying them through the gate.
Shortly afterward, his minions return with a bound and gagged Yellow. Once they've locked his former master in a dungeon and force-fed him something suitably unpalatable, Alendi walks in to the cell and says, "You are going to remove all orders from me."
