I think that even if Morgana had her Seer power but not magic, she would still become Uther's foe. But she would not dare to confront Uther or Arthur full face. She would earned their trust and used it against them. She would be the hidden enemy, more like Agravaine. And probably earned Merlin's trust too since they were friends from the start.

Kilgharrah only warned Merlin because Morgana was a witch. If she had no magic, Kilgharrah might not consider her a worthy enemy and manipulated Merlin to kill her. And if it was not because of Kilgharrah, Merlin would not suspect anything wrong with her. (I always consider the turning point for Morgana is when Merlin poisoned her, to her it was the ultimate betrayal. Right from the start, even Morgana hated Uther she always hesitated to kill all of them because she still thought Arthur and Merlin were her friends, but since her last shred of hope in them was gone, she got nothing to lose if all of them are dead.) If Merlin didn't try to kill her, she might still become their enemies but not in  so obvious way. She would be more subtle with her moves because she got no power to protect her and she would be easily killed.

About other things, I think if she still found out about her being the daughter of Uther, she would still joined with Morgause to claim the throne. However, she would still very angry that Uther lied to her all these times and she had the right to be considered the heir of the throne. (About this, I have question, I am not really sure about who should be the next ruler of the kingdom in their tradition. In Asia, the ruler of the kingdom should be the first son or prince no matter how many sisters he has before him. Is it like that in Albion? Or the first child no matter what the sex is the one has the right to claim the throne?)

However, as the story developed, Morgana not only wanted to kill Uther or Arthur because she wanted to protect or concerned ab0ut magic being restored, she wanted to kill Uther and Arthur and Merlin and Gwen because she hated them and wanted the throne for herself. Killing Uther for lying to her and amongst other things and killing others because they were standing on her way to the throne.
