Egwene got the meaning her Dream when she met Rand. She has done that before, getting the meaning of a Dream well after having seen it.
Could you provide examples of Dreams whose meaning she came to believe after the fact? There are a number of symbols she interprets immediately, but I don't remember any where she later just fitted a convenient meaning onto them. The single example of subsequent interpretation I can find is from LOC, the understanding that Gawyn would be her Warder: "She had not realised the words were coming out of her mouth until they did, but once they did, she knew they were true. That dream." One example of that I can remember is this dream:
"Mat being followed by a man who was not there ... or maybe more than one, but in some way there was no one there", which she figured out later it was about Mat being cased by a Gray Man.
Egwene, a poor leader?

Egwene isn't supposed to be a leader. She's a dictator and a politician.

If the Shadow had removed Elaida so Egwene was Amyrlin whilst Rand was still Dark ...

Same thing if Elaida was in charge when meeting w/ Dark Rand. *NM*

Except Rand wouldn't go to the WT with Elaida in charge, without having to fight

Exactly how loyal do you think Nynaeve and Elayne are?

She has the same power base as any Amyrlin - the Aes Sedai, the artisans, Guards & citizens of TV

I don't think the case can be made for Rand having it easy

I would say that in the grand scheme of things, Rand's had good to balance out the bad.

But you are just undervaluing Egwene's struggles in comparison to the other characters.
