It was actually his third time using the Power. First time he managed to heal Bella during the escape from Emond's Field. Second time he used the Power to swing a mast on Domon's ship to knock a trolloc off.

I would add that you can tell his uses of the Power by his subsequent illness; Moiraine explained the process to Nynaeve. Indeed, the scene where Mili Skane almost killed Mat is an example of the kind of illness Rand suffers after channeling.

It was Rand and he had his first bout of channeling sickness shortly after.

If it was Egwene Moiraine would have mentioned or thought something to that effect, she didn't, and later stated Egwene had not yet touched the one power, which indicates that it could not have been her.

Moiraine - actually states later in the book - it was Rand that boosted or replenished Bella (as Bella was not hurt thats why I didn't say healed)

Healing doesn't just mean the removal of wounds. It refers to a class of weaves that perform general healing tasks on a given body. Purging exhaustion is an example of Healing.
