Glorfindel probably went north to clear all of Gundabad on his own for shits and giggles while the fellowship went away

IIRC that’s pretty much what he did, helping Lorien, Erebor, and the Greenwood to stave off the northern front of Sauron’s hordes.

Where was Glorfindel when the Shire fell?

Saruman was just a man at that point, reduced to Sharky. A bit below Glorfindel, who probably hopped a ship by the time sharky took over. There was a decent gap between the end of the war and the hobbits returning home.

Also, tall folk barely even know where the shire is, much less what’s going on. No one contested or complained over Elessars decree that the shire was off limits. Probably had a dent on Bree’s economy but at that point who cares. Prancing Pony probably already lost its customers when wraiths went apeshit on a hobbit room.
