I think what she means is that Cairhien is still a politically unstable place. The Aiel, Galladrian, and Rand has taken its toll on the country. I'm interpreting this as the concerned Amyrlin for the country itself, not a move to gain full political command outside of the White Tower. Similar to any Amyrlin wanting Tear and Illian to stop quabbling, which they have now.

Not if it allows the Seanchan freedom to conquer Randland. I'd rather have Egwene over the slavers.

She's a short, female, youngest child of influential parents. Arrogance would come naturally to her.
