How did the Wraith manage to capture the imprisoned Replicator? We know their energy stun weapons are ineffective against them as evidenced later in the episode and it appears the Asurans can't be overpowered physically either.

Asurans and study them in order to find effective ways to fight.
The stun weapons are specifically built for dealing with humans: it makes
perfect sense to stun the food without damaging it.
I wouldn't be surprised to see the Wraith inventing new weapons: they
are a technologically evolved species.
The question is valid though: why weren't the Wraith prepared to deal
with the Asuran in case he escaped the force field?

1. Humans attacking the base cut main power
2. Humans attacking the base shut the field down
Neither of these would've even come to mind. If it weren't for us, the Asuran probably never would've escaped.

That is The reason why the darts don't pick up buildings and other non-living things.
So how would they be able to pick up a Asuran since it is a machine?

It probably was a lot of work in and of itself just for them to capture him - We know normal prisons can't hold them since they can just walk through them and we know no weapon would do anything to them besides the anti-replicator gun. So I don't see how they would've been able to stop him once he got out of the field.

Now, if you guys had a sharp eye like I do, you would have noticed a very important memo sitting on the control console by that force field. The note said:
***MEMO***
Please install battery backup system on Replicator Containment Field device ASAP!
We do *NOT* need to have a Replicator running around in the unlikely event of a power failure.
Thank you for your prompt attention,
-Boss Wraith

more interesting was how the forcefield was able to contain the replicator
we know that replicators can go through at least some types of forcefields (must be their 'adaptation' thingie since they can adapt & become resistant to various techs) which means the forcefield used to confine that replicator must have been quite advanced

main field gets deactivated for some reason.
Or, with a portable beam generator (adapted from a dart).
Come on ... if you have a lab where you are studying a dangerous enemy it's
illogical not to have any backup strategy for re-capturingt it.
In fact, the beaming technology could be already used effectively by the Wraith :
once a dart captures an Asuran with the beam it would be surely possible to just
erase the energy buffer and never re-materialize the replicator ... quick and dirty.
Or, re-materialize the Asuran next to a blackhole or star .

erradicate the Asurans if given the chance by the show writers. But probably
they'll give all the credit to the SGA when the right moment comes.
I'd really like to see an episode with the Wraith-Asurans war , from the Wraith
perspective . I mean : to see the Wraith on a hive ship preparing for attack , and
then watch a battle without the involvement of the Atlantis team at all .
I'm probably dreaming - it must be too expensive to do such episodes.
