There are reasons why they can't provide all those soldiers. Skellige is preparing a fight against Nilfgaard, if you speak to Crach/Cerys they mention this. Sending too many troops would weaken their own chances of success in battle. Temerian guerilla's are still fighting against Nilfgaard also, Roche and Ves probably left to help Geralt out of a sense of personal debt.

Geralt chose to refuse Nilfgaardian troops because of Voorhis. This is either due to him not wanting to surrender the keep to Nilfgaard control or to protect Ciri. Voorhis is next in line for the throne, probably felt having him near Ciri was too big of a risk.
