RJ has said that there are weaves that can be used on a battlefield to interfere with the creation of gateways. He hinted very strongly that we would see some of them later in the series.
It seems likely that Demandred is the person who will introduce them to us, during the battles of Tarmon Gaidon.
Now, Rand has apparently mastered all of Lews Therin's knowledge. Therefore, I would think he would be equally skilled in battlefield weaves.
What I would have done, with the Choedan Kal, is weave a massive gateway blocking sphere around Graendal's palace, preventing her from Travelling from the place.
Then I would have burst in there and assaulted it in full force. Graendal would be trapped, and Rand would not have needed to balefire the entire place.

You made up the existence of a Gateway blocking sphere to suit your plan.
You have the quote for the existence of a weave to block Gateways being mad as opposed to blocking them from closing? Presuming this does work, all she need to do is get outside the zone it is affecting. With hundreds of followers and the ability to disguise, there is a high liklihood of her being able to escape. I presume that she has other modes of travel other than Gateways.
Furthermore, bringing enough troops to cut off all means of escape would alert her notice long before and such blocking device could be used.
I was trying to look in the quote database at theoryland for it, but no luck. I vaguely remember this coming up before, but wanted to look at the wording.
So what was the point of a certain member of the Forsaken?

Sorry, haven't read any Harry Potter books, so I have no clue what you're referring to.

What if he makes multiple gateways at the same time?

The issue is that it is easier to make a gateway than to block one - individually.
