On the one hand, you blame Egwene for helping and supporting Rand when he was the most sane (when he just began to channel), on the other, you blame her for being alarmed after seeing signs of his madness firsthand?
The reports you excoriate her for (very reluctantly) half-believing came after she noticed him talking to himself aloud, have shocking mood swings (which make no sense if you're not reading his PoV) and develop a temper that she had never seen any signs of before. She understood the changes in him about as well as he understood her desire to be Aes Sedai, which is to say, not at all. But I don't think either can be faulted for not being able to read minds.

It's good to be right. Especially when you see Rand list his good influences in ToM

That's the really appalling part - it is so ingrained in her, that you can induce such specific acts

Well, she DID try to deflate his ego, but then she punished those who returned the favor to her.
