That Sorilea must be a DF and knows such rarely known weaves. Both is pretty unlikely,
Nope. Earlier in the book Sorilea learns a very complex weave merely by watching it once. And she watched Cadsuane lay the traps on the box.
considering that Sorilea helps Rand/order very much by keeping the Aiel together (as Aviendha notes in TGS),
Perhaps. But perhaps she is rather trying to make him (a) rely on him and (b) keep them around enough so that they REALLY start to hate him.
even suggested to kill Semirhage (which a real DF would certainly never dare),
Liandrin tried that on Mesaana. It didn't work but she wasn't afraid to try. Verin confirmed that DFs will turn on each other. And Semirhage was basically killed by SH.
and is only a weak channeler.
Again, meaningless. She still has power.
Also Sorilea's PoV in LoC, ch. 51, didn't indicate that she is a DF, but that she is really concerned about Rand's well-being. I also doubt that there will be another Verin-like revelation, namely that Sorilea is actually a "good DF", or that she was under "positive Compulsion" like Elza.
Agreed, and this is why I think she ISN'T a DF despite my other statements. But I'm open to the possibility. We've had POVs from DFs before (who was the guy travelling with Lanfear in the waste? There was a great chapter from his POV which made him look almost innocent, right up until the last line which hit like a blow to the stomach).
In my view, BS's answer implies that SH gave Elza this knowledge of several rarely known weaves, when he made her into his tool. If another Forsaken, e.g. Graendal, was involved, Elza wouldn't have been essential for SH, as BS told in another answer.
I think that's probably right, but I'm not sure how SH would have known such weaves.
Do we know who the darkfriend was who...

Verin used a primitive Compulsion on the Tower Aes Sedai that were captives in the Aiel Camp.

In fact, I found confirmation that Elza removed the a'dam from Cadsuane's box.
