Grew stronger? What are you talking about? The Foresaken were never
weaker, just locked away for millenia. As soon as they escaped from
Shayol Gul in TEOTW they were as strong as they were when they were
imprisioned.

100% certain they would fail. Use that logic I mentioned earlier. Rand
is the single most powerful channeler the world has ever seen. If you
want to kill him you do not send Trollocs or any other Shadowspawn. If
you want to draw him into attacking you, you pretend to make an
attempt on your life. Or in the case of when he was attacked in the
Aeil waste you make try to make him attack another FS for your own
game, i.e. Lanfear made Rand think Sammael was attacking.
