Loki goes instantly where Huan tells her. She has a safety against landing intersected with solid objects, her or any of her belongings, so dramatic as it would be she can't just appear with her opponent already impaled. She has to actually stab him.

The Valar will probably be opposed. But after the war, who knows. Perhaps someone they're not mad at can petition them.

And there are people meeting that description, presumably.
Lúthien giggles. "I'll try."
"Security, presumably," Finrod says. "Ungoliant, which Morgoth summoned, took them by surprise. They don't want Valinor to be very accessible."

"I'm probably going to have to stop by, fetch people out of the Halls."
