There were two distinct actions from one or more vampires. The stealing of the woman Amy's locket, supported by a journal found by me later at the site of the found amulet, currently in the care of Esmerelda, (the journal that is, the locket is back with Amy) and the murder of the emissary we were going to meet with, confirmed by deduction and Eilonwy gift's. The rutual that took place late in the night on Friday could have been their work too. That last would be conjecture on my part, but I think a good one.
The vampires that attacked the emissary were not from the Red Tear. They employed methods the Tear would never use and the ritualistic killing was to no purpose, an opportunity the Red Tear would never waste. They also in the process tried to misdirect us from who did it. They did it once, they could have tied it again with the summoning sigils. My opinion.
It is also my experienced opinion that the elves were not a lead force for the Sil'Van'Dar. You asked for sagely advise. I'm giving it. I'll work with everyone else to make sure this is so, but not to the exclusion of more pressing threats.
