Sam was new to posessing the ring, Frodo had carried it for thirteen months. So Frodo resistance wore down over the months, while Sam only had it for a couple of hours tops.

As for Sam wearing the ring in Mordor, I don't know how Sauron could have missed him.

Yeah, there’s the possibility that he was distracted by the war, but I would think that Sauron would hold finding the ring to be of greater importance. So how did Sauron miss Sam's use of the ring in his own land?
