As if Ishy could have just killed Rand and his two ta'veren pals in tEotW and it would be over, just like that. If that were the case, then I'd be really disappointed in the Dark One's ability to judge talent. He should have made Demandred Nae'blis/General of the Shadow. Rand and Co. wouldn't have lasted half a book if it were that easy, though.
I think it's been suggested before that, if Rand dies, the Pattern will just spit out others to take his place. That way, the only way the Shadow can hope to win is if they manipulate the Dragon into hurting his own side. That could explain the motivation to Turn him. Then again, couldn't they just have sent 13 AS and 13 Myrrdraal to the 2rivers (or a number of other places Rand travels to)?
Clearly, Moridin has a plan that requires Rand to survive till "the final day."

Which character (besides Rand) has hurt the shadow the most? (my analysis and your opinion)

Beg to differ, the "endless summer" was VERY important to the shadow

Actually there were a couple of versions that happened, and Moiraine came in neither.

IIRC the prophecies don't say anything about whether the DR will win.
