You forget that RJ deliberately stated that Asmodean was an "opportunity kill". As such, it would be logically inconsistant for Graendal to have ordered Slayer to hunt down and kill Asmodean.
Actually RJ didn't say that it was an "opportunity kill" or a "murder of opportunity" as people often claim, but that we should rather concentrate on the question, who had the opportunity to kill Asmo. It was just reported (!) that RJ "emphasized OPPORTUNITY as the key to knowing Asmodean's killer, even over motive (which got a mention)."
This fits a killer like Slayer, who probably waited some time for a good opportunity to strike at Asmo alone (e.g. in a deserted palace, he knows very well as Luc), but doesn't have a strong motive (except for fulfilling an order). It's not clear at all why opportunity would point to Graendal, since the plan of the allied Forsaken in TFoH was never to go to Caemlyn.
That isn't how Slayer kills. We were shown how he kills when he assasinated the merchant in (I think) Far Madding.

Probably the glossary of AMoL, where this will be revealed, will have such an entry.
