Prior to Elaida, damane didn't know about reversing weaves. Basically, Alivia was fighting blind and was never trained to do so. Cyndane, on the other hand, has centuries of working "blinded" so to speak.
Well how about just shielding Cyndane's ass?
Someone sending a shield at you with 3-4 times or more of your total strength really isnt something you can stop or slice.
Lanfear managed to slice Rand's attempt at a shield when she couldn't sense it, I'm sure she'd have no problem with one she can she plain as day.
How did Cyndane defeat Alivia?

Well she did get attacked right off the bat... Pretty indicative that Nyn resist her compulsion

Exactly. which is why she didn't have time to do any "fancy" and time consuming reversing.

Small correction - It has not been established that Alivia is stronger than Cyndane unaided...

Alivia has little experience fighting channellers, unlike Lanfear (most likely)...

Why should Cadsuane's "distance" unraveler not also go cold at nearby channeling?

I'd buy this.
