I know that after you leave office as POTUS it is some sort of unwritten rule that you withdraw from politics.
Why did Trump not withdraw?
Also why isn't he a senator or congressman during Biden's term?

You can't say "no politics intended" and then directly discuss politics. The answer will invariably include politics.
Trump didn't want to be a politician. He wanted to be president. Being a senator or congressman is a job, but being president is a mark of prestige. If he can become president again, he will, because it makes him look good. There's no point for him in taking a lower position with less power.
When people say "no pun intended," it is always right after they've made a completely intentional pun.
When a person says "no offense [intended], but," it is always right before they say something intentionally offensive.
What I'm saying is that maybe this grammar "no X intended" doesn't actually mean that literally they don't intend X, but instead that they want to lessen their culpability for exactly intending X.
No comment intended, but… oh, well. Too late now.
