Ok i know its basicly working, i saw a few times that a tractor beam push enemys away.

But, when a ship/base got the stance evade/evade, why does the tractor beam tow the enemy to the ship ?

That is a good question. Setting a ship's stance at "evade' or "flee when enemy is near" should shut the tractor beam off. But if an enemy ship warps in too close, the push feature would be helpful at that time.

But I guess the basic tractor beam rules about pushing stronger enemies away and pulling weaker ones closer does not get an override from the stance setting. I would also like to know how this operates.
