I thought just in the flow of the text that it was quite clear that Cadsuane knew clearly what balefire is and thus by implication given her backstory of being the oldest and wisest of the Aes Sedai alive that she knows how to do it. I base that off of how the text and story read but you are right (as far as I can remember) that she never outright admits that she knows the weave.
But wine was the great assassin of both tradition and propriety...

Which is more powerful? I don't recall. But if neither had ter'angreal I'd pick Moiraine (barely) *NM*

During New Spring, though, Moiraine was still relatively weak

I read that as "uber-sized" and pictured Moiraine towering above Caemlyn

Yes, Moiraine has experience killing arrogant channelers who are more powerful than her.

She wouldn't do it because of the dangers and she sees it as evil. Not for Tower motives.

Cadsuane has no problems breaking rules when it suits her. Look at all the goodies she has.
