Palpy says it to Luke. He doesn't call it elite, but says it like this: "An entire legion of my best troops awaits them." I'd say elite is a good synonym.
could also be the best troops at hand, maybe the 501st is busy elsewhere.

And no... clearly he is not referring to the best at hand. Just the best. If he comes all the way himself and foreseeing all this to happen, I think he'd bring the best troops he has.
I watched ROTS again last weekend and Padme would have HAD to know that Anakin was dead! Why else would Kenobi come back, sweaty, dirty, and with burn marks in his robes, without Anakin?

Maybe... and I say this run-on-sentence full of trepidation, but... just maybe, the shock of being choked by the love of her life into unconsciousness, and being plagued from the mysterious combination of loss and the Dark Side was enough to make her all light headed, dizzy, forgetful... ya kno, in a state of mind where she WASN'T considering all the options that the audience is exposed to? And that perhaps... in all improbability... she was delirious and oblivious to Obi-Wan's current fashion-crisis of burnt clothing and blurry facial features... ya kno, what with all the pain of child-birth, loss of her husband to the forces of evil and madness, and advancing DEATH clouding her vision and judgement.
