The historian Ammianus gives a nice report of this battle in which he describes that the invading army was completely made up of the southernmost branch of the Alamanni called the Lentienses (this entire tribe went to war) and that the roman soldiers where seriously outnumbered.
Only in the heat of battle did the Romans realize how many of the enemy there actually were and they retreated and dispersed themselves trough the many orchards in the region to avoid a fight in the open.
The Lentienses apparently got confused by the sparkling of all the roman armor in between the trees and they thought the Emperor himself with his imperial guard had arrived and a lot of them got scared and fled after which they where totally and utterly defeated.

In a battle between the Lentienses and the Franks in the year 378 a.d.
The Lentienses were a Alemannic tribe in the North of Lacus Brigantiae (Lake Constance); they settled between the Danube river in the North, the Iller river in the East and Lake Constance in the South.
But it is not unlikely that Nannienus put up an army camp at the banks of the Danube (the Western boundary of the Lentienser area), which later became Nendingen.

As for Valens, he did go into battle not waiting for his nephew but he had already waited a month and a half and learned that Gratian was just finishing up his unnessarcy campaign against the Lentienses and he was told to wait for his arrival.
Gratian was not only over embellishing his victory but throwing it in front of his uncle's face and this just added to the tension and made Valens even more angered that his nephew could care less to was happening to him.
You are correct that he did not want to share the glory, but this is attributed to Gratian and the way he treated his uncle and his use of his win over the Lentienses.

 Lentienser - Wikipedia
Zwar wurden die Lentienser zurückgeschlagen, aber bald darauf fielen sie, durch den Zuwachs anderer alamannischer Stämme angeblich 40.000 oder sogar 70.000 Mann stark, aufs neue in das römische Gebiet ein.
Der Kaiser verfolgte die Lentienser darauf bis in ihr eigenes Land, wodurch sie sich genötigt sahen, den Römern die Lieferung von Hilfstruppen zu versprechen.
Ob die Lentienser sich als solche bezeichneten entzieht sich unserer heutigen Kenntnis.

Silvanus was accused of plotting, and under torture Eusebius admitted being part of the conspiracy.
