T'Pol reports that Hoshi is somewhere on the Reptilian ship's first three decks, however later a Reptilian reports that they (Hoshi and Hayes' team) are on deck 7 as they return to their beam in point. It would seem unlikely that despite knowing roughly where Hoshi was, Hayes would beam in several decks away only to have to travel a greater distance twice (to Hoshi and back) and increasing the risk of being attacked.

   
In this episode, we see some indication that the Insectoids are beginning to question the Guardians, and perhaps believe the data Archer supplied: the final straw, for them, was the convenient anomalies that protected the weapon. It's true that the ship containing the suspicious Insectoids was destroyed -- but it lasted for a few seconds and could possibly have gotten a message out.
   
It is interesting that the Reptilian Xindi do not know what a hand grenade is. The two Reptilian soldiers merely looked curiously at the one Major Hayes rolled between their feet. Whether they know specifically or not, their reaction is strange: even if I didn't know what the gadget was, I'd seriously doubt that anything an enemy tossed my way was intended to prolong my life and health! So I'd at least duck away, if I could...
   
As to why they didn't transport an explosive onto the weapon, maybe antimatter is too dangerous not to transport over long distances or something like that.
