When Galadriel was greatly tempted by the One Ring... why didn't Sauron notice? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Sauron could sense the ring only, not the reaction a person was having to it. The Nazgul were drawn to the ring and the ring would sense them also. But they did not cause Frodo to want to put the ring on, the ring itself was to blame.

Sauron sent the Nazgul because he had to use utter speed and abandon secrecy at that point. The Nazgul followed the trail from Morodor from the info they got from Gollum, not because he had sensed that Fordo was fighting a battle of wills with the ring.(read UT the hunt for the ring)
They had begun to catch up with Frodo when GLORFINDEL (Arwen was not on the hunt for the ring.) Came to the rescue.

When Frodo tempted Galadriel with the ring, her response would not have tipped off Sauron in any way.
