I mean they did tell her that she was horrible, deserves punishment and even Hien told them (while standing next to her..) that he tried to kill her and that the people dont need to fear her.

She did say that she remembers but at the same time she was acting still way too much like Tsuyu and we also know that more memories came back later thus she could not have remember it all.

I think that most of Yotsuyu was back after the meeting with Asahi and her parents. I think she still felt all the hatred and vengeance but also remembered the kindness of Gosetsu thus she remembered being Tsuyu. But Asahi threatens her and she might now that he will do everything to get her back. And maybe probably for the first time in a long while she feels conflicted. Maybe even seeing how the reasons that she used to do all those horrible things are slipping out of her fingers because even after shooting him and wanting him death, he showed her kindness and showed her that not everyone was like that and that maybe those people did not deserve what she has done to them. (The girls kindness in Namai probably helped with the conflict too)

So for her death seems to be solution. Put then her parents came and the old rage and hatred that may have been decreased a bit by the kindness emerged and she tells herself that the kindness was maybe just a lie and then she chooses to emprace her old self again but with the conflict probably still raging on which was shown in battle later.

I dont know if her scene before turning is truly an act or not. But I dont think it was mostly Tsuyu acting. I think that it was both of her sides which kinda is shown in the primal too. For me she was Yotsuyu back with all the hate and rage but also the kindness of Gosetsu.

In the end she chose vengeance, knowing that if we beat her, that she will die, so I also believe that she was trying to kill herself with that but still with a lot of her old negative emotions at heart which one over even with Gosetsu slaying Zenos and her attacking us even harder. She even says at the end that she thougth that this rage would go on but that she seemingly feels good for being able to kill the three worst people of her life and I think that its also then, when her rages goes away, that she also realizes the kindness again and maybe even truly realizes that this might hurt Gosetsu again.

A tragic tale but I think its too hard to really say if she was acting and what part she was action. Maybe she did or maybe she was consumed so much by rage after her parents speech that she snaps and truly means the things she are saying.
Re Yotsuyu:
It's possible too yes, I mean it's just an interpretation of what was displayed which I think other languages migth shed more clue, what I go by was her kinda out of character state after the defeat, she was kinda praising us and the other ppl. That said when she tried to kill her it's possible that it was Yotsuyu herself that felt shame over Gosetsu's kindness after all they went trough. So perhaps they right reading of it would be saying that there was a bit of both of her sides in her last act.
That said It's sad that only in the end she understood that the reason she felt always so hungry for vengeance was because she was direct her hate towards the wrong persons and that only the death of her brother would've really satisfied. I think that was a brilliant touch, though imho I'd say that Iceheart and Haurchefant ghosts appearing were a bit more strong in my opinion (well the whole 3.3 in my opinion was stronger as a MSQ simply for how strong the ending was and since we got no credits this time I'd say they ar enot considering 4.3 an ending either
