Will Harry Have to Come Clean?
Conspiracy Theorist:
The Swartalves are paranoid security freaks, Eb may have used the visit to Harry to test their defences and response times, he otherwise really had no need to visit Harry at that point in person, so this suggests a pretext on his part. The Swartalves took no action because Harry vouched for Eb, and because the Peace Talks themselves were imminent, and the White Council was a “friendly” power.
I don’t think the Never Never is an option into the Embassy.
There is also the question what purpose the assassination achieved, successful it would have removed Etri and set a war between the White Court and Swartalfheim, where the Accorded Nations would have come in on the side of the Swartalves. That purpose is usurped by the Titan and her challenge, unless the removal of Etri would have allowed Evanna to strip away from the Accords. As it is the Swartalves are not providing manpower only weaponry and defences.
Unsuccessful and it merely sets the White Court/Swartalf war in progress. A bomb is an imprecise weapon, suggesting it wasn’t really intended for Etri, but it’s discovery early to its triggering in Thomas’s hands would be enough to achieve this purpose.

Would you have thought it an option into the "Depths" under Lord Raith's mansion? Yet Cowl and his ghouls managed to open one to attack, Outsiders were also in larger planning on that one.
Conspiracy Theorist:
There is nothing to suggest Cowls involvement in Thomas attack, and the Swartalves are the White Court, the White Court can only enter and exit the Nevernever in places close to their hungers nature. The Swartalves are accomplished magic users and don’t have that restriction.

But would you be shocked if Cowl popped up? We haven't seen him in a while. Oh Cowl entered the Depts from the Nevernever and as far as I know he has nothing to do with any of the vamp courts.

I really doubt they will be lining up an Emissary and holding trials while a Titan and a Fomor army are attacking the city.
Now maybe immediately afterward... but I doubt it will be in BG at all.
Story-wise, it's not immediately relevant. The Svartalves can't go after him in Demonreach, and Harry and Lara don't yet know how to heal him so he can survive outside of Demonreach.
Thomas is not in "Christmas Eve", so I think he's still in Demonreach months later. This will probably be left for future books to resolve.
As far as the Svartalves know, Thomas mysteriously disappeared.
Once he pops up again, healed, *then* it's an issue (and Lara might be able to handle that).
--- Quote --- And Swartalves are not known for letting thing’s slide. Nor is Harry a bully, he hates bullies.

Bullying, sure. But saying "if you want to kill my brother you'll have to go through me first" is entirely in theme for him.
EDIT: finished/fixed sentence about "Once he pops up again"
