For one thing, I have no reason to believe Moridin would die if Rand did. For another, Shai'tan would never allow his plans for victory to be hindered by Moridin's desire for survival. And finally, Moridin has no desire for survival - he wants everything to cease to exist, and if killing Rand would achieve that, he would be in o way reluctant to do so, even if it did kill him. Being alive or dead is only a characteristic that can be applied to things that exist.
It also brought him his first sworn Aes Sedai, and essentially marks the end of Aes Sedai trying to bring him to heel for the White Tower.
No disasters have appened to the Shadow by Rand's capture. Freed or not Rand's capture by Elaida benefited the Shadow. Either by turning him against AS even more or having him under lock and key.

The first rule of being a ninja is "do no harm". Unless you intend to do harm, then do lots of harm.

What will be the punishment for Moridin for allowing Rand to do what he did?

Given that LTT was more scared of the TP than of killing Min, I doubt the DO didn't intend it. *NM*

How do we know it wasn't part of the DO's plan?

That presumes that Moridin KNEW that Rand could access the True Power through their link...

You're assuming that Rand channeled the TP through Moridin

The Shadow aka Moridin doesn't want Rand dead because he might die with him

I agree, I think the Dark One DID give Rand permission to use the TP

I thought Rand was so desperate that he reached the True Power alone.
