Do you think Andre knew Andy was leaving the pocket?
Did you notice how Dupree ran AWAY from Andre? 
Do you think Andre could run down Dupree?

1.  Of course he did.  He has been trained to read the defender to know where the QB is moving.  That is basic football knowledge.

2.  Yes I noticed, but that does not mean that Dre is allowed to completely give up on the play.  Many times when QBs scramble in the pocket they move back and forth.  Dalton might have changed direction and scrambled back into the pocket.  That is why players are told that they do no just give up when they are in pass pro and the QB starts to scramble.

3.  You make it sound like Dre would have had to chase Dupree down from behind.  This is not true.  Dre was still between Dalton and Dupree and had the angle in his favor.  Dre would not have been chasing Dupree.  He would have just been trying to cut off his pursuit angle.
