BS just said during his Q&A chat, that "these [last three] books are culminations, not thread-starters".
Rand balefiring Graendal's palace was a perfect culmination scene. Consequently, it makes no real sense to basically start a new thread in ToM by placing Graendal in a new lair somewhere else in the Westlands, or to suddenly jump back in the timeline before this culmination.

I agree with your assessment that setting up Graendal in a new location would be a new thread starter and thus, that is highly unlikely.
However, I disagree about suddenly jumping back in the timeline. There WILL be a jump back in timeline because Brandon has to catch Perrin and Mat up to the Egwene and Rand timelines.
Therefore, I don't know enough about Graendal's plans in the Mat and Perrin parts of the world, but if she had a part to play there, we could easily see Graendal in the ToM.
What about this little 'Graendal survived' theory?

If Graendal didn't know Rand would use balefire, why would she have Delana do the Compulsion?

Yes, Graendal completely outsmarted Rand.
