Moghedien was holding the Source when she and Cyndane visited Graendal. (In fact, she had just channeled the lights out in the room, causing Graendal to attack.) Graendal successfully snared both Moggy and Cyndane with her weave of Compulsion.
That this scene comes after Sammael's pov, I believe RJ was proving his statement wrong, and Sammael had a false sense of self-security, IMO.
Sammael says he's immune to Graendal's subtler forms of compulsion, which is not what she used on Cyndane and Moggy.
But if Rand could slice invisible weaves from Lanfear attacking him, he could have chopped Graendal's compulsion. Or he could have struck her before she has a chance.
So what was the point of a certain member of the Forsaken?

Sorry, haven't read any Harry Potter books, so I have no clue what you're referring to.

The issue is that it is easier to make a gateway than to block one - individually.
