Whether he tells her to or not, there won't be another large battle. Just as Galad realizes that the Whitecloaks fighting each other only hurts the forces of the Light, Rand has realized that any fighting between his forces and the Seanchan also hurt the Light. It fits what the Finns told him and what the prophecies state about the north and east being connected, the west and south, and the two being as one. Plus, Nicola's Foretelling shows that the Seanchan will still be around after the Last Battle.
With the Seanchan on the full offensive against both Egwene and Rand I find it hard to believe that he'll simply ignore them. He's got to bring them in line before he can afford to turn his back on them... at this point they might as well be working for the Shadow since they are at open war with Rand.
I wouldn't be shocked if the Hall declares war on the Seanchan even knowing that it will given Egwene a broad array of power there. What choice do they have? Rank and File AS would be outraged if the Hall decided to play a political game in this case.
The Hall may still call for War on the Seanchan, but Rand will still tell them that they must let it go until after TG.
Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
I think I know what they're going to talk about...

Pretty much - Egwene always wants to pin the blame on someone else; she won't appreciate correction

Do you really think he'll tell her to back off the Seanchan?

She'd be pissed just like everyone else in the series.

She has no reason to be pissed about being asked to follow Rand - but that won't stop her of course.

So you would be fine if the leader of your country simply decided one day to follow someone else in

Maybe because they leash female channelers and practice chattel slavery?

Yeah, a 50 year threat of nuclear war is so much better than an army that couldn't cross the Channel

Calling her the agressor does not increase the threat. The situation is unchanged

They are on the offensive is the point. Even if Rand says not to attack them to Egwene
