If Graendal had woven the compulsion, it would have remained, and Rand would have known Graendal was alive.
Yes, but she didn't know that at the time, did she? I read the passage yesterday, and there is nothing to indicate that she knew she was about to be Balefired. In her POV, she is surprised and terrified to see Rand himself waiting for Ramshalan to return. In fact, when she sees Rand carrying the access key she thinks that that is almost as bad as Balefire, hinting that even just before she traps Aran'gar and Delana she doesn't consider it likely he'll destroy the palace with Balefire.
Fram kamerater!

Everything I've read keeps me convinced that Graendal was supposed to die.
