It's likely they din't know what to think at the start, maybe they got some clue that it might not be the real O'Brien and then they found the real one and all doubt was lifted. What I find surprising is that Molly seemed to know it from the start. Why would anyone tell her anything and risk tip fake O'Brien off? It seems strange to me.
But why tell Molly about it? And Why does Sisko let O'Brien do anything at all on the station if he thinks he might be a saboteur? That doesn't make sense to me. They should have arrested and restrained him right off the bat, better safe than sorry. Imagine what would have happened if the fake O'Brien had received instructions to go to the most vulnerable spot on the station and self-destruct with a big bomb if he felt he was discovered? I think they all acted like fools on that one.
How do you know they told Molly? It's not the only time she's acted like a little pill. (And even if they did tell her something, it'd have been a "modified" version for her benefit.)
As for why they didn't just grab him up...they didn't know for sure, and they'd likely not want to be tipping off the Rebels ahead of finding the real Miles. If the replicant was found and contained, there'd be very little chance of finding Miles alive. If you play along, there's still a chance.

In that case they did a really lousy job of "playing along". What was in that stew anyway and why was Keiko acting as if it was poisoned. I'd like to meet the fool who would still have eaten it in fake O'Brien's place. Why did she look like she was repulsed anytime O'Brien got near her? If you are going to do something like that you'd better do it right. As I said, they are lucky that O'Brian wasn't instructed to blow himself up and take as many people with him as possible if he was discovered... It's not like we don't have examples of that in real life, is it?
Not much of an episode if they all played along flawlessly though, is there?
True, but we're here to bitch about that stuff aren't we?
Children have excellent intuition, so I'm guessing Molly could tell that wasn't her father. As for the stew, I was wondering the same thing...what was that all about? Maybe she just wanted to see if he would say it was his favorite, but she still acted like the universe was hanging on whether he took a bite or not. Strange.
Plus, did you see the look on her face? He would have to be blind not to notice it.
