Again, unwise. Not evil. Not badly intentioned. Just a very poor job of foreseeing consequences for her actions. Also possibly based on a lack of understanding of just how much power/influence the Lannisters had at King's Landing, compared to the Hand himself. Also unforeseeable was Ned's resignation as Hand, which rendered him far more vulnerable to attack by Jaime.
Now you're really out there. Lysa controlled the Eyrie, and wasn't exactly excited that Cat had brought Tyrion there to begin with. She had little or no leverage over the entire situation.
I think she's a good guy with poor strategic vision and a serious inability to foresee the consequences of her actions.
I wouldn't hold Undead Cercei's actions against her if she should become so, and it's rather absurd to hold Undead CAt's actions against her when alive. Lady Stoneheart isn't really Catelyn Stark at all.
Apparently you just have a crush on Lena Headey or something, because, no seriously, I think most of what you're saying above to be reaalllly far out there.

Unwise is a great descriptor for Catelyn. Cercei gets blamed for making poor decisions, but everything Catelyn touches literally kills her family.
Stoneheart isn't Catelyn, but just happens to take revenge out on Catelyn's enemies?
I've been sympathetic towards Cercei since before I ever saw the show, so it's not Headey. Honestly, it may be because Robert is by far the character I hate the most. I don't see how Cercei could have turned out any differently, considering Tywin is her father and Robert was her husband.
