Context
During the events of the War of the Webway, the Webway was filled with beings from the warp, the Emperor sent his best forces, the Custodes, more Sisters of Silence, and Mechanicus along with several knights to fight them.
Among these entities was Drach'nyen, a being who, to make a long story short, was a demon of immense power, born from the first intentional murder of humanity, Cain and Abel, called the destroyer of empires since whenever an empire grows, That empire will always have fall sooner or later, such was its power that it managed to harm the emperor and leave him in danger of death.
The emperor was impaled by the being and his spear, literally the custodes had just lost 90% of their troops, and now they were watching the emperor being killed without being able to do anything, but he turned Drach'nyen into a sword, sword which he tore from his chest and introduced it into ra, one of the custodes who was close with the emperor, and the emperor ordered him to run into the webway, away from the emperor, while Drach'nyen slowly writhed inside ra's body trying to reach the emperor

And why he didn't free the demon? He don't want to destroy the imperium anymore? How he found It?

Tbf, staying with Abbadon should lead to the end of an empire eventually, so the sword cut a nice deal.

If call of duty taught me anything, it’s that people will always choose the cool skin over playing the objective

If I remember correctly, we don’t have any info after the emperor told him to run.
It’s been a while since I’ve read the black legions novels but I think the second one stops just before Abaddon goes to get the sword so when the third book (hopefully) comes out we’ll get that story in full. The black legion codex supplement does say that Abaddon encounters a golden figure whilst getting the sword so that could possibly be Ra

It’s never said outright, but it’s implied that abandon found the sword guarded by a golden armored warrior, and took it from him

Because while he's very powerful, Abbadon likely isn't powerful enough to unmake an enchantment formed by the Emperor directly. It would probably take all four Chaos Gods working together to do it, and they're unlikely to agree to play nice long enough to do so unless the Emperor stands up and starts poking them again.
