I think it's very obvious what she is. She isn't supposed to be playing a pure evil character, and that performance very obviously explains her motivations for killing the Grand Inquisitor and going it alone trying to get to him first. There was no way she was handing Obi-Wan over to that dude.
Hell, the line "we're on the same side" was very clearly double entendre.
You guys hate her because you see her as a very milquetoast, bad excuse for a villain. If that's what she's playing, you're right.
But she's very clearly not playing that character. At all.

Here's the problem with all of that.
Think of the number of dei ex machina that have been required for Obi Wan to survive to this point. She has no way to know that Tala turned back or where Obi Wan was going in that showdown with Vadar. Tala doesn't turn back, Obi Wan becomes jedi charcoal.
Virtually every episode there has been some moment or another where Kenobi survives through blind dumb luck or assistance from some character that seemingly has no idea she's involved in this. The shootout on the platform - if she wants Kenobi to escape she just says nothing. Afterall, she's already planted the tracker, no? Instead she shouts for him. Without those cargo pilots coming to save him, they're all toast.
I don't ultimately doubt that they're going to do what you're suggesting - but if that's the case, they oversold her. They made her TOO effective because her actions at a half-dozen different moments throughout this series should've gotten him captured or killed.
