He said it about the Warder being killed, due to the shock of the coup, not about channeling which she could see, and did see during the same time frame.
Nope. He said she didn't sense channeling because she was busy. She didn't sense Alric being killed because she was shielded, and shields dull the bond.
To create a reversed or inverted shield? Graendal was able to function perfectly well at the Cleansing despite masking her ability to channel entirely.
Dom's point was that if Mesaana was pretending to be a Brown sister weaker than Siuan, she would have been detected by the women around her when she embraced the source. Then, if her shield was reversed, they'd have all wondered why she reached for saidar.
Is that really more likely? Have we ever seen a shield effected (not held) by someone who could not see the target before?
Yes. Amico holds a shield on Egwene, Elayne and Nynaeve. Rand stills three sisters even when he's inside the box.
Besides, "more than a dozen" people entered Siuan's office. Surprise was hardly necessary.
It wasn't for surprise. It was caution, to prevent Siuan from doing anything to them. They didn't want an OP fight.

Pretty much the single worst written piece in the entire series.
