I loved the movie, it was an old fashioned film.
Why did he not go back? Because he wasn't about to abandon the gal and her little brother. He had a chance to alter history this time, where he had failed before.
I also suspect that he ran into the temporal paradox problem. You can't change what has already been. If you go with some theories, you can only create a divergent reality/timeline. In essence, a parallel universe.
He killed the albino leader because he had to at least try preventing him and his kind from becoming the future of humanity.
It was pretty muddy at that point in the film, it could use a Director's Cut.
