Whether or not this was Egwene's reasoning, I hold to this logic: if Verin had been saved after spilling the Dark's secrets, she would have done so before her "last hour" thus breaking her vow, and the Dark One would have had claim to her soul. By letting her die within the hour, Verin slipped through the loophole and the Dark One would not have claim on her.
At first I found it kind of shocking that Verin had become a Black Sister, but then it started to make sense to me when thinking about some of her past actions. I would like to know more of what she had done as a Black Sister; what role she really played in some of the situations throughout the story (maybe a short novella/handbook on all the information Verin gave to Egwene).
I would definitely read that.
It's actually kind of funny... I didn't care much for Verin until I found out she was black ajah and a double agent. Then she became one of my favourites and upon rereading the earlier books, I liked and paid more attention to her.
As for why she didn't tell Egwene about Caemlyn, I agree that it was because she believed that Mat would open the letter fairly quickly and would take action. Therefore there was no reason for her to also tell Egwene.
