The sort of fate that Galadriel had was power of choice and reason, she didn't kill Eorl because she knew him to be useful to her cause. I don't think it was an act of divinity, "I can't kill him because it's not his time to die" sort of thing. But may be it was, is that how you see it?
As long as she controlled his future and acted in an irresistable way, yes.
