Paranoia can manifest pretty quickly especially especially when you're under stress and the position Azula was in was very stressful.

I wondered about her using lightning during the finale myself. According to Iroh the technique requires control over emotions so it's possible, given Azula's cold personality, that she was able to disassociate her emotions from her bending even with her crumbling mental state. She never did operate off of anger like Zuko did and she actually seemed pretty calm until she started crying. Just my take though.
