I don't think it would have been as bloodless an ending if Katara hadn't gotten involved. Zuko didn't really have a means of subduing his sister, and everyone here knows that she would never have admitted defeat. Katara would have needed to intervene at some point otherwise the only logical outcome of the agni kai would have been the death of one of the combatants. Azula had already tried to kill Zuko, and since he seemed rather insistent that Aang would have no choice but to kill Ozai, Zuko probably expected nothing less would stop his sister and was prepared to do so.
