How much information does the WC have

Harry knows Carlos pretty well, he only needs to order Alfred/island to handle him based on his weaknesses and his strengths. No contest.
Mira, the LOS here is not Carlos, it's Line Of Sight for the combat. Three letter acronym time. It's Harry trying to effectively vanish

Okay, but easy to get confused because it is also used as a nickname for Carlos. Why this assumption that defense of the island would be one on one at all? It is made pretty clear that
though Harry is dealing with a creature whom he name's Alfred.. Alfred/creature and the island are one and the same.. So whoever attacks the island or is unwelcome on the island by Harry, is fighting the whole island.. And the island I think will use any means necessary to combat the intruder or intruders, all at once.

In this scenario, Harry gives Alfred the order and runs away. No staying close, no positioning for an attack, not angling for a better view, he just runs away until Alfred says the job is done. Harry has perfect knowledge of the terrain and can sprint away with no need to watch his footing because of his intellectus. Any WC pursuit won't have these advantages and the terrain will be actively working against them. And all the while, Alfred will be taking them out. Unless they get Harry right at the start of the action, he's going to win. All he has to do is give the order and have Alfred start with Eb. Alfred is going to be doing all the fighting and it has shown to be able to withstand the combined power of both Ladies and the power to take Mab with no prep or binding while on the island.

and while he does this LtW, Mai, or a Warden shoots him in the back.

Because we have not seen the island or Alfred engage two enemies at once. He's not a rapid fire machine gun, at least that we have seen. He's the Death Star turbolaser, an incredibly devastating shot - but single shot and reload. He alternated between Lara and Freydis. He didn't hit both at the same time.

They get one shot at Harry, who'll have his shields at maximum plus whatever boost Alfred can provide and then he's gone. I concede that he has to survive their initial attacks, but we've seen Harry do that on multiple occasions. After that, Alfred stomps them while Harry makes himself scarce and uses his intellectus to monitor the proceedings.

Not really, they didn't attack at once together.. Harry hadn't fully applied the defenses against them either. He wanted to try and talk sense to Lara, so the least dangerous means were used on both.
