I don't know why Zuko would take her. I mean, it was his fight. Why would he bring someone else who could really only serve as an additional target? He never expected Katara to fight with him. Mrr, it was just more of them making Katara out to be a power-girl, and this time it seriously short-changed a crucial moment in the story. All of us were waiting to watch Zuko take down his sister after everything. I think it would have allowed more closure for the two than the detachment we got with Katara's victory. I mean, the whole while Azula is still talking about Zuko. It all felt awkward.
Oh Azula's madness definitely began at the Boiling Rock. I'm pretty sure that's one of the first times we ever saw Azula lose her temper. It was the shock of losing what she had always believed she had. I think it was more than just control though. I think Azula really did care about her friends. In "The Beach" episode, she feels bad when she makes Ty Lee cry. I think it was just too much to have the only two people she ever really trusted turn on her. It's what destroyed her trust in everything, from all of her servants to even Ozai, as seen in the scene where she's afraid he's leaving her. And really, he was.
God, that moment made me want to deck her. And yeah, she never apologized, and they just let it go. I'm surprised Aang never got on her about it. How can you say that to your brother? Nobody even really brought up how outright bitchy she was being that whole time. They just let her get away with it. And I admit it, she rubbed me the wrong way with the purely vicious way she threatens Zuko after it's clear the idiot is stumbling all over himself trying to earn Aang's permission to teach him. It just felt unnecessarily cruel and another OMG KATARA IS SO BADASS moment. Mrr.
