Did George and co. expect him to just slowly and painfully die while left alone and blind, or did they want him to be a message to others or talk?

Ok I found the reason why. From the trivia section.
Apparently Duncan had his eyes removed because he didn't want to believe the accusations about Lord Locksley. Probably some BS lies that the Sheriff made up because Locksley didn't want to join them. And the fact that he's the only servant left on the Locksley estate when Robin arrives suggests he might have been the only one who resisted. So most likely the other servants joined the Sheriff or they would have suffered the same faith. -

They left him to die out of cruelty. Robin was presumed dead, years long gone to the Crusades, nobody would have expected him to return and leave a message for him. A blind old man left alone in a burned out castle, far from civilization, would not survive long. It was blind luck that Robin returned in time to find him.
