Hehe; no, she was very close to killing Yon Rha. I say there are two reasons she didn't bloodbend Yon Rha when she met him-

1) She couldn't do it. The final effects of the moon had likely disappeared by then. Yes; I'm still leaning toward emotion or not, she hasn't figured out how to do this.

2) He didn't attack her. She bloodbent the Southern Raiders captain into submission because she was not there to fight, she was not there to offer any form of a fair chance- she was there to exact judgment and revenge. She wanted him to have a complete feeling of helplessness- the feeling that he gave her when she was young.

But she didn't have to break Yon Rha into submission; he was already there, groveling on the ground. If he had fought back, her reaction would have been much worse. Maybe Zuko figured that out; and why he also told Yon Rha to not even try firebending. Lol; dunno if he figured it out or not, but either way what he said there was entirely the case.
