The deobandies criticized jamat e islami for obvious reasons.First, this dissenting school of thought emerged with in them and it effected its own people mostly.The Ikhwani movement did not have any impact as such on the deobandi school and their manpower.
Whenever a school of thought is more prevalent as widespread,standing of the same Aqeedah and furu, difference of opinion and approach arise as the scholars are human beings who can think and act to the different ongoing stimuli in the world.
Just for example, Ahsan Ul uloom and Ashraf ul madaris lie almost wall to wall ,both are deobandi institutes but Mufti zarwali khan Hifzahullah's views about Ashraf ul madaris are known to everyone who has been near to him.Mufti zarawai hifazahullah views about tablighi jamat and Tariq jameel hifzahullah are also on the record. The discord which occured inbetween Dar ul uloom karachi and other deobandi madaris during the peak of " Meezan bank rumble" is also well known. Then if u pick the digest of Sipah e sahaba, they severely criticized Moulana tariq jameel hifzahullah for some of his statements a few months back.

So it happens everywhere but still its just a difference of opinion and those who dissent, do it with a good intention. I think it should be referred to as ijtihadi Ikhtilaf.
I agree that there will always be difference of opinion; but issues that have been closed several hundred years ago should not be brought up and reconsidered. Consider the position of mu'tah. Although assumed to be the figment of Shia imagination, there are actually many sahaba and tabi'in who considered it permissible. Ibn Hazm mentions in his Muhalla that Ibn Abbas, Ibn Mas'ud, Asma' bint Abi Bakr, Abu Sa'id, Salamah amongst the Sahaba and Tawuus, Ata', Sa'id ibn Jubayr, Ibn Jurayj, and indeed the entire Makkan school and its jurists considered mu'tah permissible. However, the Makkan school and Jariri school are defunct, and the ijma of the Muslims has since been that it is haram. Therefore no one today can do ijtihad and consider it halal.

The issues that you listed, where the a'immah of Deoband differ, are not differences on issues that have since been decided. They are differences of opinion in modern day phenomena, such as how to do tabligh, etc. What the Salafis differ about, there has since been ijma' about--such as number of raka'at of tarawih, which Hanafis, Shafi'is, Malikis, and Hanbalis all agree is twenty rak'ah. (There is a riwayah of Imam Malik that considers it 36). Then some people come along 1300 some years afterwards, and say, "Hey, Everyone for the last 1300 years has been committing bid'ah and it is actually 8 rakah." Do you see the problem?
