Perhaps instead of just observing Haruhi they wish to provide a situation and then observe. Instead of waiting for something to happen and then observe what happens, they will cause something to happen and observe the reaction (much like what Ryoko was attempting). However there are questions. Do these attempts damage IDE aliens or does Yuki's faction actually react first by countering as much of the incident as possible by making an escape mechanism so that they can maintain their own pattern of strick observation without intervention towards Haruhi. (and thus keep Haruhi from reacting to thing but instead being the cause of things to happen).

My question on the rest of the anti-SOS-dan: If the plot resolves in book 10 with Kyon staying with Haruhi, then what point will the anti-SOS-dan have in the aftermath. They should no longer be able to simply attempt to get him to switch sides/transfere power. Thus what is their purpose after that?

Will they remains as an antagonist faction in a super villians fashion, or will it be more mundane with them just being a rival club in certain activities?

I just can't see them remaining a unified force if the mission for Kyon fails. Unless the story remains branched with one having them fail and one having them succeed. Or if they manage to gain a version of Kyon...but then the mission to gain Kyon is just to transfere Haruhi's powers...so that does not entirely work either.

Unless the anti-SOS-dan is simply a way to end the story. They manage to transfere Haruhi's powers but remake the universe so that the powers don't exist. Either all the non-humans vanish, or become "normal" thus allowing for Kyon and Haruhi to continue as a normal relationship. But that is a rather boring way to end the series as well as ending the mysteries by wiping them out is a rather shotty way to get rid of them.
