Morgana's reaction would be an interesting one. She agreed that she wanted to see Uther's reign at an end but she didn't sign up to put the whole city to sleep, or to have Arthur or anybody else killed. She could be very angry when she learned what Morgause did to her.

Based on how quickly Merlin was losing consciousness, I'd say that he'd be out before he could come face to face with Morgause. Even if he was conscious, I can't see him having the strength to summon the magic to defeat her. If he lost consciousness, the Knights of Medhir would probably leave him alone, and the same goes for Arthur if he passed out while fighting. If they were alive to fight, they'd be killed.
