Brainwashing treatment anomaly
In reference to:

It is strange that a shot from a zat'nik'tel did not cure Teal'c similar to how it was used on Rya'c in "Family" or that SG-1 did not consider this tactic while capturing Teal'c in the previous episode.

Wasn't Rya'c's brainwashing caused by a chemical agent that was deactivated by a zat blast? I'm sure they would have considered this, or such lengths would not have been undertaken, nor would they have worked since removing a Jaffa's symbiote would not cause the chemical to magically disappear - indeed, perhaps it worked with Rya'c as he had not yet taken a prim'ta, since the symbiote would remove the chemical and reverse the effect. Whether this was the case or not, taking this plot path did indeed allow for an in-depth look into how Teal'c's loss of his faith developed over his life as a warrior under Apophis' rule.
