She's the only Forsaken at the time that is trying to suss out Rand's abilities... and this attack seemed way too amateurish to the work of Demandred and far too upfront to be the work of Graendal
I wrote a whole theory on this topic, and it makes is a challenge prove now that Semirhage is dead.
Moridin says that Sammael is alive, and Demandred immediately says that's nonsense because Sammael liked to be the center of attention. When Semirhage probes about the attack, Moridin says that it was Sammael who sent the Trollocs. At this point, Demandred realized that he'd made a huge error because he already knew about Semirhage's plan to attack Rand - he didn't know that she'd used a disguise in the form of Sammael. He therefore said he'd been wrong, to try and correct the situation, and it caused a stir.
Of course the other possibility is that Fain gained Sammael's influence over the Shadow when mashadar absorbed him. BS commented that the DO would not resurrect Sammael because something nasty had happened to his soul, so this might be the reason.

I think this Mydraal in question was Shaidar Haran 1.5, was it not? I don't remember. *NM*

SH obviously wasn't one of the Myrddraal, who were ordered by "Sammael" to attack Rand. *NM*

Alviarin's Mark doesn't give her control over shadowspawn. RJ told us this in a Q&A.

Posing as Sammael is Graendal's modus operandi

But if she want's to appear as Sammael, she would surely "act in character"...
