She was already super powerful. No one would have defeated her. Egwene, Aviendha, Rand, Moiraine, Wise Ones, they would all have lost even without the Angreal. You don't give your enemy an angreal unless it somehow gives you an advantage. And we've never seen any advantage in strengthening your enemy.
So either Moiraine knew from the arches that she could ensure Lanfear was burned out by grabbing the angreal from her, or she needed to make sure that Rand didn't try to fight her and end up dying himself or *semispoiler from TGS* | killing her and turning into Dark Halo Rand right there|.
I know she knew beforehand what would happen. But what value did she see in leaving the angreal for Lanfear?

Perhaps the whole point was to attract Lanfear's notice (no channeler is going to ignore an angreal) and lure her towards the door ter'angreal.
Warderbond broke - Moiraine Stilled?

I don't think she severed the bond, but I do think the melting caused it to snap. *NM*

Yes, but why did that require giving Lanfear an angreal?

Maybe it was just a lure?

Moiraine knew about this event (passing on Lan's bond) since tEotW at least (I think it's that book) *NM*
