Are you talking about when Alviarin passes Norine and Danelle in one of the middle books? (I need to chase that scene down, I guess.)
Yes. That's when Alviarin mentions Norine resents her because she thinks she should have been Keeper, not her.
The KOD scene is a follow-up to this first encounter. Alviarin mentions the Whites are angry that she shamed them by being deposed, and Norine (the one who already resented her) even more.
I don't think the bevahiour fits Mesaana by ACOS. If she were Norine, she wouldn't go and attract Alviarin's attention by faking envy and hostility toward her. She'd do her best to ignore her, especially if her disguise is that of a White.
But basically, the fact Norine had notions that she should have been Keeper means she's somewhat prominent, and thus it's extremely unlikely a Forsaken could manage to take her place convincingly - at least not among her White peers, many of which know her for decades or more (friend of not, the Whites stay mostly in the Tower at all time).

Since we have a POV from her I find it very unlikely. Not to mention Jesse would be hard to replace

Norine was angry with Alviarin before the Mesaana clashed with Alviarin?
