1.) Possibly, but I really loved how Azula thrived on power, and it was sad to see her break down occuring just as she became Fire Lord. I felt it was a bit of a betrayal of the girl who broke the leader of the Dai Li through sheer badassery.
2.) And even in Boiling Rock, I would argue, her loyalties were clear in the other direction. Not letting Zuko die, is, to my mind, far, far different that say, letting him go to fight the fire nation is, and I don't think she wouldn't have done that if it wasn't Zuko's life on the line.
