... that would make Graendal more suspicious than she already is? He said nothing useful, most of it being praise for Graendal and claiming he could not defeat her without help. If anything, interrogating Ramshalan would put her more at ease.
No, Ramshalan would have been compelled to tell her the whole story, not just the BS Rand fed him about gaining the support of the Nobles. He knew all about the smarter opponent and then got a free ride to Graendal's doorstep... a simpleton could figure out that Rand was after her!

"My Lord." Ramshalan bowed a second time, as if worried that Rand hadn't noticed the first one. "Surely you seek to trick me! There is nobody more intelligent than yourself."
"I wish that were true," Rand said softly. "I face some of the most crafty people who have ever lived. My current foe understands the minds of others in a way that I cannot hope to match. So how do I defeat her? She will vanish the moment I threaten her, running to one of a dozen other refuges she is sure to have set up. She won't fight me head-on, yet if I destroy her fortress in a surprise attack, I risk letting her slip away and never knowing if I've finished her."
seems pretty obvious that he wants to destroy her fortress in a surprise attack and still know for certain he's killed her ... he pretty much says it right out loud.
