Nice find! I knew Myrddraal could detect some channeling, but I didn't know if they could

I didn't know if they could differentiate between the flows.
Elza had an older weave in her brain and SH still detected it. That is pretty impressive.
From ACoS, chapter 40:
The Myrddraal moved from the deeper shadows, becoming visible. In its eyes, the gateways had left a residue—three patches of glowing mist. It could not tell one flow from another, but it could distinguish saidin from saidar by the smell. Saidin smelled like the sharp edge of a knife, the point of a thorn. Saidar smelled soft, but like something that would grow harder the harder it was pressed. No other Myrddraal could smell that difference. Shaidar Haran was like no other Myrddraal.
So, he can see residues of weaves, which implies that he can also see active weaves to an extent. (Can't distinguish separate flows, though.) However, it would be easy to surmise a weave placed on the brain would be some sort of Compulsion.

Can SH see weaves of saidar?

What interests me most about this situation is How did SH know that Elza had compulsion?

Here's what we do know about SH in that regard

It was Verin who Compelled her, and either the Wards failed or Shaidar Haran nullified them.
