Well Azula did try to help him alot. She only went after him cuz her dad gave her an imperial order to. Even when she was chasing him, she didn't make nearly the effort to catch him she could have. She put on a good show of trying to catch him, but if she had really been trying, then in 201:TheAvatarState, she would have just stormed the spa in the middle of the night and had Zuko and Iroh in chains before they knew what was happening instead of trying to trick them aboard a ship. They can swim you know.

Also, Azula didn't have anything to gain by getting Zuko a ship when he was banished, she didn't really need him during the coup at ba seng se, she had an army of Dai Li for muscle, that was her way of giving her big bro a hand up.

She was constantly trying to help him out during the first half of season 3, she didn't turn on him until he turned on her after the day of black sun and took Mai and Ty Lee with him shortly after. Prior to that she wanted him around.

Azula just wants to be respected and loved as much as Zuko. Cause even though Zuko had never been quite as skilled as she was until the second half of season 3, everyone liked him and was a little bit wary of her. Their relationship bears all the hallmarks of a little sister who looks up to her big bro so much that he's the one to beat and therefore she constantly tries to out-do him.

She'd love to pull the strings of power, but when she was still sane I think she probably would have been content to be the sister of the FireLord.
