So if Alecto came into the fight, how would it affect it? I would think Rowan would love the act of being able to defeat his weak older brother himself. Would she be able to mess the fight up? That's mostly the problem.

No, she would have shown no interest in the prince... until he loses that is, so she decides to well, encourage his attitude afterwards. Of course helping him in the fight would defeat the purpose of encouraging his ambition and resent.
