Who knows what she would have done? She'd already tried crushing Adalind under a stone statue and Nick couldn't take a chance that she was bluffing. The baby was innocent and Juliette was spewing nonsense about no child of Adalind was after telling Nick she was going to send Adalind to hell. The goal was to kill Adalind and take the baby down with her. Using her telekinetic abilities could have ended that scene without anyone the wiser except for Nick, Adalind and maybe Sean. It's Nick standing between them that gave Juliette pause as she shockingly said Nick was choosing Adalind over her. That sent her over the edge and straight into Kenneth's/Royal's arms. I don't think Juliette was bluffing but you do, it doesn't matter either way, Nick as a trained police officer couldn't just assume something like that. What if he made the wrong call and Juliette did do something? By Nick's standard that would mean he let an innocent life die to placate his furious girlfriend. Hardly any cop shows dismiss a threat to a woman (pregnant or otherwise) as a bluff just because they are in a public place. Nick was right to stand between the two women.
Juliette being a terrible shot isn't what saved Monroe (and she was a good shot after owning a gun for a couple of years), that was Hank acting in time and diving between Nick and Monroe and prevented a tragedy set in motion by Juliette. Them taking out their guns was in reaction to her violent outbursts. They were reacting to her not the other way round.
Nick did blame Adalind for Juliette turning into a hexenbiest and Adalind told him he could have Juliette back to her old self albeit temporarily as long it kept Juliette away from her and her son so Nick did send Adalind away, to live with Bud. What he doesn't blame Adalind for is Juliette's actions. That was all Juliette and Nick understood that. Adalind kept her word about the suppressant but Juliette had chosen a different path for herself, Adalind didn't make her do the things she did. Let's be honest, whether Nick chose to leave with Adalind at the station or not was irrelevant. Juliette was fuming having been told of Adalind's pregnancy, Nick would have still "sided" with Adalind because of the baby. Juliette just couldn't see past her anger that it was all Nick was doing trying to keep Adalind's unborn child and maybe his son alive and nothing more than that. Juliette would have seen any attempt by him as a direct attack on her because of Adalind.
