Well, it fits RJ's theme that the bad guys actually aren't that competent. *NM*

Apparently they indeed just met once very few weeks or so in TAR. Probably they also had an agreement not to attack each other (though we know that Aran'gar eventually planned for Graendal's death). In any case, since both had obviously more urgent things on their minds in the last weeks (namely Graendal Rand & Arad Doman; Aran'gar likely a new task by SH) nothing indicates that they created an elaborate plan to kill Demandred & Co. or something else, especially since it is clear that they don't trust each other that well. Likely only Aran'gar will now profit by taking over Graendal's network; on the other hand she is without an ally again, which might force Aran'gar to act sooner against Rand or the fellow Forsaken.
Graendal is supposed to be smart and crafty. This is neither on her part.

Graendal is part of several plot lines. Aran'gar at the very least is unseen in TGS, but involved

Again, there is no sensible reason for a scene where Graendal is shown again before her death. *NM*

sure there is ... to tell us she killed Asmo

or it could as easily be a scene from Aran'gar's POV that includes Graendal

Noal was involved with Ishy; a connection to Graendal is pure speculation.

she also knows what Cyndane and Moghedien are up to and may be involved

There is nothing to support your view, that Graendal was directly involved in any other plotlines...

Brandon's "Mostly" answer makes it less likely we see the Land of Madmen as Demandred's base

On a somewhat related note, Sanderson says ToM consists of 80 chapters as of now. Ginormous!
