So, my theory is that Nenya DID serve for war purposes. Protective or defensive war, but war after all.

Technically though, they are not using it for war. They weren't actually at war fighting were they? So really, they are just using it for protection as they always have. I wouldn't consider it war, just a defense mechanism.
Though your discriptions of war would be contradicting my opnion, I don't think that power of the 3 was talking about that type of war. I think it was mainly talking about how they wouldn't use it to harm people and help them win a physical war. I'm sure they would be used for defense purposes.

I do think that it is possible that when Saruman, Gandalf, Elrond and Galadriel agreed to attack the Mirkwood fortress, they "borrowed" or enhanced the protective "girdle" that Galadriel had over Lorien to expand it towards Dol Guldur in order to help kick Sauron out of it.

This could very much be true as well, but again it was just a "protective girdle". I think that it was the people themselves who kicked Sauron out. The rings themselves just served as a way to keep Sauron from moving into the protected area.
I'm also not sure if I'm making a bit of sense here, but it sounds right in my head. So this is just my opinion on the matter. I agree with Socialist on the other question.
