I'm thinking that they want the entire officer corps and most of the force dead. And the Shadow has rarely worried about plausible deniability. And if they strike quickly and leave the effect will be more devastating, especially if only a few men are left.

What's so special about Tylee's lieutenants? Why can't they be knocked off one or two at a time by the shadow's traditional assassins?
Tylee's force numbered in "the thousands upon thousands". To do what you're suggesting would require thousands of Trollocs. And if you're going to use that level of force, which can't be covered up and will warn the Seanchan of what they're facing and move them towards making a truce with Rand; then you'd be far better of going all the way and launching a major offensive aimed at taking Ebou Dar.
When the Wolf King carries the hammer, thus are the final days known. When the fox marries the raven, and the trumpets of battle are blown.

The prologue gives us strong evidence that Graendal is weaker than Demi or Semi

Did Demandred make the connection between Moridin's phantom hand-pain and Semirhage's firebolt?
