Yes, and it is logical to be confused because no one knows if she could be an adult woman, a young teenager or even a boy because of the way she dresses or even the braids make people think of a woman like Brunnhilde the original Valkyrie. Morgana participates even knowing that things will surely not turn out well but soon she has more confidence in herself and with the words of Lorelei and her daughters in her mind and she is motivated if the purpose of the tournament is to fight the queen as a grand prize, fighting as never before and showing an incredible skill with the sword of which her brother Arthur would be proud, in the end Morgana fights against the emerald warrior and manages to defeat her when she had everything lost but without knowing who she is at any time but with her own theories seeing traits that remind her of another person, Sif faces many Valkyries whom she manages to defeat, earning the greatest acclaim and respect for them and in the end when the emerald warrior disappears without being seen after her defeat (Sylvie's variant ends up crossing the path of the ice giants leading to an unintentional provocation that leads to what happens next), in the tournament, Sif and Morgana fight mainly to see who becomes the queen's greatest support, Morgana has been getting stronger to the point that each time she feels better about herself and understands why warriors and heroes are the way they are, even women, and how the adrenaline takes over them, achieving an incredible strength and will to advance until now unknown, Morgana and Lorelei's fight does not begin because Lorelei has achieved what that she wanted and so does Morgana but they make a promise about it.
Morgause may know about her through the time vortex, witnessing Sylvie's splitting into two people, but all that knowledge is lost when she inadvertently absorbs many of the unknown forces that populate there as if they were attracted directly to her.

Yes, besides the fact that Morgana loses her magic could have benefited her by getting rid of the evil that dominated her heart, leading her to be somewhat more benevolent than she should be, meaning that what her older sister did to her in Broxton, It was doing her a favor.

Yes and it's funny how it all starts, a benevolent Morgana, being cunning, smart, strategist and intimidating even without magic, manages in an emotional way to make a woman like Lorelei who could have gotten lost in her thoughts end up being motivated to be someone better by someone she could consider an enemy for whom she ends up feeling more affinity than with anyone for various reasons. Morgana does many things that she does because of promises that Amora swears she will fulfill, the only requirement that Morgana decides not to fulfill is to get closer to Lorelei, although Amora would never imagine that her little sister would become queen at some point and Morgana that she could find someone to call friend.
That seems perfectly said as a way of summing up the sisterly relationships and how they're similar but also different.

And this variant is so different that you said even her scent is not the same as Sylvie's. So Amora could meet Sylvie and get vibes from her mother but meeting this variant, I imagine she would not detect anything remotely familiar. It's funny how much of Morgana's arc is about revenge and she actually does best a version of Sylvie in the tournament even if she does not know who it really is. Morgana getting an adrenaline rush from all the fighting reminds me of Betsy Braddock's characterization and how she was also an action junkie who craved the idea of being a warrior. And it makes sense that Morgana would forget all she has learned and witnessed.

Yes, it's nice that what Morgause does to Morgana was actually meant as something good for her.

What I also like is that Amora does not have the typical reaction to get jealous of Lorelei and Morgana. She's given her word of caution and how Lorelei generally causes the people around her to not end up well but she doesn't do anything else or attack Morgana.
