You can think of Egwene as being a High Priestess of a religion or a High Queen. In the real world, Catholic kings, presidents and political leaders are still expected to kiss the ring and bow to the current Pope.
It's one of the scenes that lead me to believe that Elayne might refuse to join the White Tower. I may be in the minority, but I have a presentiment of disaster that Rand manipulated Egwene to invite Elayne to his grand meeting just as Caemlyn is under attack, but we will have to see how this all plays out.

Elayne kissing Egwene's ring?

It's a mere mark of respect to the Amyrlin Seat (the position, not the woman)

It's not like the Kin weren't getting anything out of the deal, so what's the problem?

BTW by "High Queen" I meant that other rulers showed her respect, not that she ruled them.

question for you, cause you are kind of missing the point of what Elayne is doing

You can rephrase as 'What's more important to you, being Aes Sedai or being Queen of Andor'

The Nobles don't really have any reason to assume the Amyrlin would do that
