Estrekor came west with Syranthir and would have been well known at Brinnus where he established a monastery and hospital there. Since the Redline history says about Castle Blue
::The inhabitants of this castle were typical of the type, and were very ::close to the inhabitants along the shores of the lake. Castle Blue ::considered those people among their own followers, and had always ::defended them from external aggression. Even the Carmanians had ::respected the holding of Castle Blue.
I don't see why Carmanos couldn't have taken shore leave when he was younger to meet Estrekor. As a mortal, I think he would have lived in the mundane portion of the Castle rather than have tea every day with Charmain, Syranthir and Alakoring.

Before IMO.

The Neliomi Sea was different from the Sweet Sea as the later was part of the Janubian Sea. I think the Waertagi didn't sail there very often because the Janubian Sea was fresh and the Waertagi preferred to sail in salty seas.

They weren't in hiding. The Carmanians didn't know where to find them.
