Lets say a human eidos is like a dna molecule. Any magician can identify and see that Dna molecule, but to a normal magician it will look as a double helix molecule no matter to which human the edios belongs to. Exmaple a normal magician if he will look at miyuki, erika, mayumi, leo, mizuki,mikihiko eidos he will see a dna molecule but wont be able to tell which edios belongs to which person.
Now in case of tatsuya his sensory ability allows him to see past the double helix molecule and see right down into its structure seeing all the information contained in that molecule and that's why he can tell which eidos belongs to which person and that's why he can track a specific edios because he can differentiate the edios he wants to track from the rest.
This sensory ability that allows him to see past the eidos and directly into the eidos structural information its what Elemental Sight is. Am I wrong?

Yes, you are wrong. This is because you're mixing things together.
A normal Magician sees the Eidos and uses his/her normal senses to help distinguish which Eidos belongs to which object. That means if you escape the Magician's normal senses, that Magician has problems tracking your Eidos.
Example: In the Hattori duel, Tatsuya vanishing from Hattori's line of sight made it impossible for Hattori to complete his spell to affect Tatsuya's Eidos, because Hattori couldn't use his senses to confirm where Tatsuya was.
Tatsuya's sensory abilities, on the other hand, are strong enough that in the same area as a normal Magician, he doesn't need his normal senses to reinforce what each Eidos belongs to. That means in order to affect Tatsuya's senses, you have to be able to manipulate the information from the information dimension instead. Yakumo blatantly hints at this in Volume 3 when Haruka pays them a visit.
So if Tatsuya was the one in the duel being affected by that situation, not being able to see Hattori wouldn't be an issue, because he can still sense where he is via the Information Dimension. Witness Tatsuya's reaction to Haruka trying to sneak up on him, Miyuki and Yakumo. Despite the fact that Haruka's a BS Magician who clearly specializes in Stealth magic, Tatsuya's sensory abilities still picked her up easily -- he was only unable to identify who he noticed, which is most likely due to the Stealth magic in effect.
So essentially, in the normal sensory range of a Magician, Tatsuya doesn't need to use his senses.
Outside the sensory range of a standard Magician, Tatsuya can still track an Eidos, but he needs something to assist him with identifying it, just like a normal Magician would for something that would be in a normal range for them.
This is a big part of what makes his Elemental Sight a superpower, because it gives him the theoretical unlimited range that normal Magicians can't have.
The other major part that Elemental sight covers is that it lets him see and process the details of Activation and Magic Sequences. That's what lets him decompose specific parts of Evil Eye to make it harmless.
But Activation Sequences and Magic Sequences ARE NOT EIDOS. That's what you're mixing up. You're applying a "Well he can do X because of this, so it should be the cause of Y also" kind of leap of faith conclusion with no actual evidence to back it up. That is why your conclusion on what it is and how it works sounds more like Fanfiction than what's been detailed so far.
