I think he's not entirely sure that he has Harry, and
wants some confirmation. He knows what the repercussions
are for summoning Voldemort hastily.

I like this question. I think Draco is demonstrating a
serious moral struggle in this scene. He knows it is
Harry, he KNOWS, and we know he knows. But he also knows
now that Voldemort is brutal and evil and my guess is
that he doesn't want Voldemort summoned 1. because he is
terrified of him, 2. because if something happens (like
Harry escaping.. ha ha) and Draco is the one who confirmed
it was Harry and that's why Voldemort was summoned...
Draco knows he will be tortured or killed or both. 3. He
may feel sympathetic to Harry's plight now, and not want
him to be given to Voldemort.

Lucius wants to be redeemed, Bella wants Voldemort's
approval, Greyback wants Hermione and money.

I think she was given more information than we are aware of.
Probably more than any other death eater except Snape.

We know this already, it was Alberforth's eye, not Albus'.
