Once again, you are right-after rewatching the episode, I saw that too. While they were escaping, Mithian could only run and do nothing else. I had a different impression about her from her first appearance, but it looks like I was wrong. As for why they did not confirm Morgana's "death", it is probably the same reason for Morgana not finishing Merlin off, but leaving him alive. They are needed alive, in order for the show to go on.
