She did mention : "... if you really care about the lives of others..." in a rather worried tone so i am gonna assume yes she cares, even if only because they are her
evil overlord boss guests. As I mentioned probably fastest or most accessible place in that particular moment. But now that you mention is highly likely she knows Maddie saw something, since it is on everyone best interest Traces never hears about it I wonder if she will try to "silence" maddie
Following on your second point, she was doing what she could to get the power that she needed to do what she wanted. The sincerity of her means in getting to that end (and what that end precisely is, really) are to be determined.

Regarding the Basitin hierachy lack of foresight regarding Maddie and her up-bringing. I always imagined Basitins had very strict anti-nepotism laws hence Maddie benefited little from her mother's title. But then How did Aster got where he ended?
I'd imagine that you don't get very far in the basitin hierarchy without ability -- but at the same time, you're always going to go farther with both ability and opportunity than ability alone. A General's son knows what it is to be a General, not only in the abstract, but in the specific. And is more likely to have the ambition as well, whether it be their own or the expectations of their parents. (See Keith's backstory.)

I dunno, the visual cue of him chewing on a stalk gives me a deja vu (can't figure it out).
Only instance I can think of in the comic proper is
Zen.
Though I guess you might also be thinking of
Sirus smoking.
