Well, after going through everything Alviarin put her through, I can understand Elaida wanting to make sure that the Amyrlin is obeyed. The TOwer AS are even more factioned and isolated from each other than the rebels, and Elaida's obediance oath would finally bring everyone under the Amyrlin's umbrella.

Elaida chose to let Alviarin do those things. She did that to save her ass from the punishment the Hall would mete out for her idiotic plans.
