Who would be keeping tabs? The Kingsguard left KL with Rhaegar. From there, only Rhaegar would have authority to position them.

Sure Rhaegar would be the only person who for sure knew where each and every member of the Kingsguard was at the time of the Trident, but people would still be keeping tallies on where each Kingsguard was last seen and they'd hunt them down. If say Arthur Dayne escaped with Prince Viserys, this would be a problem that they had to deal with. It's not as if once they sacked King's Landing that they forgot about the missing 3 members of the Kingsguard. They'd hunt them down for sure.

Yes, but it's not know whether Ned told Ashara Dayne where Author Dayne was killed and why.

We know he returned Dawn (even Cersei knows this)

I'm just not sure as many people know of the circumstances of the TOJ as assumed. And if they knowledge is only held by Ned and Reed, then Tywin wouldn't have anyway of knowing.

There are some things highly suspicious about the Tower of Joy, like how did Ned know they were there? He knew he'd find Rhaegar's rightful heir there since he didn't come with an entire army. I just think Tywin should have been shrewd and calculating enough to figure this out.
