Yes, it would make sense that Thornden, as steward, would be with Eodwine at court, but it's not absolutely certain that Thornden is steward. That's one of the things that has to be discovered.

If the court were to be held at Meduseld, it would be Eomer presiding, not Eodwine. After all, Meduseld means literally "Mead Hall", and is the King's Mead Hall. Eodwine has his own, and ought to be using it- unless LMP plans to use the "it's not quite finished, so King Eomer has kindly granted temporary use of Meduseld for Middle Emnet business".
I totally forgot about Thornden's as-yet-unconfirmed official standing... but that would seem to me to mean even more so that he ought to be in attendence... and isn't the deadline for that trial period coming up? If so, would Eodwine be making the announcement now? If so, then Thornden would definitely want to attend, since a formal occassion like this would be the just the time to announce it.
