Could I put some Galadhrim Knights and Haldirs Elves and stick to my theme of the Battle of TLA? |

No. It would look very out of place. You could convert some high elves as cavalry and use the Galadhrim knights' rules. |

Elves from Lothlorien would definately have fought in some of the wars of the Last Alliance, so thematically a list combining some Galadhrim cavalry with either High Elves or Men of Numenor would be ok imho. Adds some variation and character too, so I'd go for it. |

Was Haldir alive during TLA? |

I'm not sure, it's unlikely but not impossible, I don't think he occurs anywhere in the narrative apart from when the fellowship are in Lothlorien but including his Elves would be ok, as they're just the warriors of Lothlorien. |

I think it's entirely possible, and perhaps probable, that Haldir fought a the Battle of the Last Alliance. After all, he's an Elf and thus immortal. He could have even fought in the First Age. |

Maybe Haldir was alive then but the Galadhrim were little concerned about the events that happened outside Lothlorien as their destiny was to go to the grey Havens anyway. I think Gil-galad went to the last alliance as he had already made a strong relationship (not that way!) with Elendil and thus felt obliged to join him at the black gate. |

Per my readings, when the Alliance led by Gil-galad passed over the Anduin they were joined by silvan elves out of Lorinand and Greenwood, led by Amdir and Oropher respectively. P 258, Unfinished Tales. The silvan would not submit themselves to Gil-galad's authority however, and Amdir and his forces were driven into the dead marshes, and Oropher did an ill-considered attack on Mordor that was highly unsuccessful. As a result, fielding either Galadrhim or simple wood elves are completely in theme with the second age. |
