For example, let's say Hitler could travel back in time and know about D-Day, would he try to make sure it doesn't happen? I would think not, 'cause even if the Allied somehow don't strike on D-Day, it would just mean they would spend all those resources to strike somewhere else, one that he would have no knowledge of. Rather, Hitler would prefer to make sure the D-Day invasion still gonna happen, but he will use that knowledge to make sure his force can counter it.
What do you mean known future for unknown? She has no idea if WoL is going to succeed after WoL returns to their timeline... this as much a 50 - 50 as it was before... WoL came to ask for help, we got more info, but not more power. If she knew the future is safe with us, she would not needed to put us through a final test.

The Ancients seemed very open about whatever we were saying to them. I doubt if the retired Venat would have said her story they would not even try to be open to the opportunity. Even Emet, who was being all angry about him being protrayed as the baddy, even he did try to help figure out the truth.

This whole issue could have been solved, if they made a cutscene where Venat talks to the convocation and explains the situation to them but after a through investigation they decline her or stamp her as "crazy" or something. But even then, when the final days would approach they would surely remember her words...

I think this is a basic issue with time travel stories. They used it inconsistently. Graha could change the future of his past by creating a new one, we could not change the future of the past of Elpis cause story needed to be sad and ending...

It does not mean that it was not a good story, it just has holes that could have been filled in that would perhaps better cover the questions asked.
