Catherine was portrayed as a villain and Adalind was influenced by her. Exactly what she taught Adalind regarding moral questions is unclear, but it’s probably not what normal people tell their kids. All we really know is that Catherine educated Adalind in spells and potions.

Nick can boot her out of the fome any time she chooses and as she showed, she was free to leave the fome at any time.
Nick bought the paint factory (probably) for money from the sale of the house - which he owned. He could also have kicked out Juliette back in the days. Of course, Adalind was free to leave the fome at any time. Did you expect Nick to keep her in cage? It’s true that Adalind was depending on Nick initially, but towards the end of season 5, the relationship was put to the test. When Adalind was forced to leave, Nick fought to get her back. And Adalind was given the opportunity to stay at the Mayor’s Mansion, but instead moved back to Nick’s loft. They both made an active choose to be together.

Yes, but there is no indication in the storyline that Adalind did not become a good person. She express regret for the evil stuff she did in the past, she is completely loyal to Nick and doesn’t want anything to do with the villains Renard and BC.

After the end of season 4/beginning of season 5, there is no indication in the storyline that Adalind only stays with Nick to survive. Adalind was completely loyal to Nick when she had the opportunity to betray him. Renard wanted to sleep with Adalind in season 5, so if she was the manipulative survivor you claim, why did she kick Renard’s ass and declare: “I'm not the same Hexenbiest I was”, making Renard respond: “You must have fallen harder for Burkhardt than I thought”? She also tells Bonaparte that Nick “was good to me, and he didn't have to be. Don't ask me to betray him”.
