She also learned of the invasion plans, but she mysteriously (and willingly) chose not to reveal this to her inner circle for now. It sounds like a convenient plot device, either because the story needed for Elayne to have made a big mistake (in the sense that simply having her never learn about the invasion beforehand wasn't an option, the fact she knew and didn't act will become a relevant story point) or to avoid a plot hole by explaining Elayne has not forgotten but chose to defer the issue to later discussion, and thus hide completely whatever measures she may have put in place behind the scenes regarding this attack, before she left Caemlyn.
Actually she told Birgitte and Dyelin about the invasion plans, it's in Ch.45 of ToM.
“This will be for the best,” Elayne said firmly, to distract attention from her treacherous eyes.“I’m still worried about the invasion.”
Dyelin said nothing to that. She didn’t believe that Chesmal had been talking of a specific invasion of Andor; she thought that the Black sister had been speaking of the Trolloc invasion of the Borderlands. Birgitte took the news more seriously, beefing up soldiers on the Andoran borders. "

So it's better to not bother?! At least by stilling, you force them to make the effort.

Not to mention that Elayne KNOWS that Stilling them would also have broken their Oaths
