You both are right. Then again - Halbrands appearance on that raft if even more so a complete mystery to me.The folks on the raft were southlanders, and were real yet.
No necessary. Those completely could have been some impostors like the 3 witches were.
Also Sauron was aware of Galadriel pursuing him, if he managed to poison the Lindon tree and plant the mithril idea into Celebrimbor who influenced Gil-Galad, then planting into them the idea thed Galadriel's shadowy presence fastens the return of evil at the very same time seems not too far fetched.
If Sauron knew they would try to ship out Galadriel to get rid of her because he himself suggested it and if he knew she will not leave ME as he has her husband - and maybe daughter - captive, then he just asks a favor of the evil fish-dragon and waits around Valinor for her to appear.
