Well each option as its perks,

1 means he not gonna waste energy and potencially get killed or piss off any friends the bandits may have.

2. means he can aquire supplies, most importantly money, while ensuring no one knows who killed them (no witnesses).

3. Information is power, even if he can't understand her, he may be able to get some sort of information or at least a reward off her for saving her.

Any of them are viable, with pros and cons for each, it a simple case of which one will give him more potencail gain (or in the case of 1, minimize potencail loss).
