If she really didn't want him to amount to anything, then she would have just had him arrested and taken away with his uncle, after the victory was achieved. She did it out of fear of what might happen to her. We've all seen Ozai's parenting methods. He burned Zuko and banished him for talking out of turn and he was already seen as a nothing. She was a prodigy who was expected of nothing but greatness and perfection. What kind of punishment do you think she had in mind was instore for her, for failing to sub out something as critical as the Avatar. Ozai is not the understanding type. Plus, during Zuko's stay, she was even looking out for him. even warning him about his reckless behavior by visiting his uncle. She was reassuring to him when he doubted himself in Ba sing Se along with being a little nice during the beach. and no..she couldn't have been setting him up from the start as it came to her as a bit of a surprise. Also, revisiting the side of her punishment, all the things she said could happen to him in that bedroom...could also happen to her. She is nowhere near, one-dimensioned.
