There's a lot of speculation here that I don't see a need for. Astarion's explanations make sense; there's no reason for him to be evasive and no indication that he's trying to be.
Astarion speculates that Cazador hired the Gur for this job because he wanted to send a specific message, which seems reasonable enough. Maiden Fel is no doubt very good at her job - as anyone running a group of monster hunters should be - but that doesn't mean Cazador is afraid of her, or isn't capable of outmaneuvering her, being a centuries-old vampire lord and all. Also, it seems pretty far fetched that the Gur would spend two hundred years magically monitoring a guy who did them wrong once upon a time just on the off-chance they could eventually catch him while away from his master's protection. That's a lot of generations to hold a grudge, and a lot of resource investment for a small and uncertain payoff. Astarion isn't even a particular threat to them now, no more than any other vampire spawn.
What Astarion tells you is speculation on his side, though.
We know the Gur is hunting him, and that his boss is Maiden Fel, but that is it at this point. It could be that the reason they hunt him is something else entirely.
