Eredin's primary motive wasn't to kill Ciri. It was either Ciri have a child with him or no one. Ciri just simply chose the second option.

In regards to why Geralt would ride with them, the Wild Hunt probably just didn't tell him why they were looking for Ciri, just that they were. They knew of Geralt, they knew to what lengths he would go to find her again. So they probably joined ranks to search together. Kind of like how Cahir joined Geralt to search for Ciri, Geralt probably joind the Wild Hunt the same way.

Once Geralt learned of how the Wild Hunt was related to Ciri, he probably fought back and they took Yennefer as collateral to ensure his cooperation.
