The Elven caravan arrived as usual and just in time, because I was running out of booze.

However a siege arrived at the same time. The caravan had 2 traders and one of them along with a horse fell to the invaders.
Now the other elf is safely inside my fortress walls but he is just wandering the halls, and not trading as usual. I can't just magmafy him since he's constantly moving, will he settle down eventually and start trading or do I have to wait until he starves to death?

sick your military on him.

He will never starve to death and will never settle.  He has nothing to settle with, after all, his goods are scattered!  He may attempt to leave if a pathway is opened, or if not he'll go insane, with little effect.  He won't starve, so if he goes babbling nothing has changed.  Berzerk and your men will take him, melancholy and he might find his way to a tower to jump off.  Otherwise yeah, just have someone spear him.  You get nothing bad from killing an elf.

Alternatively, lure him into a cage trap, knocked out by a nearby cave-in or GCS web, and place him in a nice cage at the trade depot, for all the other elves to see,

Oh well, ashes to ashes, elves to dust.
