It's true he wanted Aang to kill his dad. And why? Because he saw no other successful alternative that would end the matter. Aang proved Zuko wrong; and Zuko was grateful that he did - as shown by the last episode.

To quote Zuko "Banishing me was the best thing you could have done for my life. It put me on the right path. Perhaps your time in here can do the same for you..."

just prior to asking where his mother is. So, the way I see Zuko in the matter of his dad & sis; at those times he was "If I have to, you will die." but he'd rather it not happen.
