Nice blog post. Merlin is actually 2-3 years younger than Arthur. From the information you presented Morgana seems to be younger than Arthur. But the thing is that when she captured Merlin in the 6th episode of the 4th series she reffered to him as "the boy". So maybe she's younger than Arthur, but older than Merlin, but that could also mean that maybe after all that has happened she doesn't see Merlin as a person but as a lowly servant who doesn't deserve a name.

Now, Morgana maybe believes that the throne is rightfully hers because she was lied to and hadn't had the childhood that she deserved as the princess. So she wants in a way to get what was taken from her...At least that's just my opinion, but it suits for me.
