Perhaps, but not advisable because of the danger of the power itself. Remember in Peace Talks when Harry asked Alfred about his range for collecting Ethniu, he said it was the edge of the lake. Now possibly if he drew on the ley line power, it would have been much easier, fewer would have died etc., but that didn't happen. It wasn't even explored by Harry or suggested by Alfred, even though it was vital that Ethniu be locked up and as quickly as possible. So that says it either the power cannot be drawn upon by the Warden from anywhere or the consequences of doing that are too heavy.

On the Island, they get summoned there, right? Seems like a better idea that way. Ethniu was probably too big to properly summon (order of magnitude bigger than Titania, and she shattered Harry's circle in CD). Once they're there, Alfred can take them downstairs.
I don't think the Warden went out to collect monsters typically.

Maybe not, but they were gathered up and somehow bond and put in cells. Now it could be that the vast majority of them were taken and jailed in Merlin's time. He may have done it first, then built the prison around them.

You haven't crossed the biggest hurdle for Merlin to put them in there. What was someone from medieval England doing building demon prisons in Chicago to put Gods and Monsters in? Even the Norse didn't get that far inland. And it was a Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court not Harry.

The impression I got from Cold Days was that Merlin built the island long before Chicago was even thought of.. Would have to go back and reread that bit, but I seem to remember that when Merlin built it, it was done in multidimensional times including before the ice ages..
