[Star Wars] If Palpatine had willingly gone with Mace Windu when they came to arrest him, and the Jedi could find undeniable proof that he was a Sith Lord, but no proof at all that he was involved in the Clone Wars. What would have happened?

Would they still consider him a danger? Would the members of the Senate insist on releasing him, or would they appoint another Chancellor? 
Would the Jedi even be able to keep him arrested considering that Palpatine was loved by the Senate and the public, who probably did not even know the difference between a Jedi and Sith?

There was absolutely no way the Jedi would have "won" in that or any scenario. Palpatine's religious beliefs are of absolutely no concern to the senate, and the Jedi trying to arrest him for his personal opinions about spirituality show massive and unconscionable intolerance. It's the kind of breach that even an extremely bloated and corrupt Republic could NEVER ignore. A Republic built on accepting everyone no matter their differences cannot stand for a private religious organization dictating religious decrees on its citizens.

The word "sith" means nothing to the galaxy, because the Sith order have intentionally made it that way. If the galaxy were told of Palpatine's actual genocidal beliefs concerning the galaxy and Jedi, it would have done jack squat. It wouldn't have mattered if the Jedi had tons of documents proving that the Sith are evil, power hungry, and corrupt. It would just sound like the ravings of religious zealots trying to usurp the lawfully-elected supreme chancellor. In a time of war, trying to remove the symbol of power and stability is the height of treason. The Republic had literally just suffered an attempt by the Separatists to do *just that*, so the Jedi would have looked no different in the Galaxy's eyes, no matter how much concrete proof the Jedi had of Palpatine being evil.

The entire galaxy would have clamored for the immediate arrest and punishment for the Jedi that had clearly lost their minds, and probably asked for the entire order to submit to an extremely unfair series of sanctions. Hell, the Republic might have even attempted to lawfully arrest every single Jedi in the galaxy and detain them in one place if they all agreed that this religious intolerance could no longer be acceptable. (which would conveniently be destroyed in one way or another, exterminating the entire population of Jedi in one fell swoop. Collateral damage be damned.) 

Palpatine would be seen as a hero a thousand times over for bravely resisting the actions of a bunch of superpowered terrorists, which we kinda saw him do in canon anyway, and the clone wars would be ended in much the same way as well. If the Jedi's attempts to spread the truth about the Sith made it to any kind of holonet media, Palpatine would have it squashed and forgotten, just to make sure future generations didn't get any seditious ideas.
