The oath against using the OP as a weapon should have prevented Elaida or any captive Aes Sedai from showing the Seanchan Travelling.
Elaida KNEW what they would do with Travelling, that they would use it to KILL and there is NO WAY they could have possibly made her believe they were going to use it for benign purposes.

And I'm a little surprised Egwene hasn't done something like this in the Tower. All Elaida had to do was, at some point early in her captivity when she understood she wasn't going to escape, that she was going to be broken, to swear an oath to herself not to reveal Travelling (or any other Aes Sedai weave) to her captors.
She's not Black Ajah so the first oath would have made it binding. Even if she was broken and turned into a happy, obedient damane, she couldn't have revealed it.
Even better, she should have opened the gateway and then started yanking threads out of it. With any luck there would have been another Gateway!bomb that would have vaporised every Seanchan within two hundred paces
Elaida, oh no you didn't!

This is ridiculous. You can teach any weave, including Balefire. You just can't always use it. *NM*

You can teach a weave so long as YOU believe that the weave won't be a weapon. Elaida knows better *NM*
