It is possible, but Azula hasn't reached that state yet. Neither has Zuko really. They are not out to destroy each other 100% of the time. And when they do battle, its not because they hate each other. Its more so opposing objectives.

And for the knife thing. yes it is possible and it is that simple. Fire has been shown holding a strong enough force to break through obstacles and even withstand attacks(example:Azula created a sphere around her self to block the attacks of Sokka, Aang, Katara, Toph, and Zuko simultaneously. So I'm pretty sure that the intense Firebending Azula uses can deflect or knock a knife off course at least. And the scenario where the dagger can go through the fire and hit her while the flame still goes ahead to hit Mai is science. Fire Is a Plasma and has no solid shape for form of matter. So the solid known as the dagger would slip through it, allowing the flame to continue on ward to its path. The flames them selves would play the part also. Take time to notice when an Earth bender raises a wall to block a flame(Note Aangs fight with Ozai) the fire doesn't stop dry, it moves around it and carries out to the possible direction. (Same with toph and zuko) when she raised a wall to block his attack(which was an accident on his part) the fire moved past it and burned her feet.
