Yeah, I see where you're coming from! She was quick-tempered by nature indeed, and she kind of liked going againist the will of Uther, but I think this is because in his face she was seeing her father's "murdered" and the persecutor of her kind, so maybe that explains it at some point. However, there were times that she listened to him, like when he demanded her appearance to celebrate in season 1, although she didn't think that it was a reason for celebration.

As for allying with Merlin, you are right, you never know what might have happened...still, not being around Morgause for two years and being around Merlin and her family instead would definitely result in her "good" evolution. What's more, she would probably not try to overthrow Arthur, since she would never learn that Uther is her father!
