You are confusing modern morals with medieval ones.
What would Tywin Lannister do? Or rather, what did he actually do when faced with rebellion by his vassals? He obliterated 2 entire houses, not just the members of the Houses, but everybody living in their castle, peasants, soldiers, men, women and children with no thought of judgement. They weren't meant to be judged, you see, they were meant to be an example to avoid. And he never faced rebellion again, hell, even a whisper of rebellion could end with a single singer.
7) You do know that kings and queen are basing their claims ONLY on ancestry right? There is no other way to claim to be a king or a queen. And the 7 kingdoms have only ever pledged loyalty to kings with Targaryen ancestry. Cersei Lannister is the first to have 0 claim on the Iron Throne.
8) Typically, traitors get executed. Some times by beheading, others by being hanged, some times by burning or being eaten alive by hounds. Even in our society, traitors are not particularly well-liked. There was this one time when one traitor was infected with a radioactive material. So yeah, if anything she was again not decisive enough.
9) Her claim comes second in typical westerosi customs, BUT Aegon(Elia's son) was passed over by the previous Targaryen king (Aerys II), which would take every child after him out of the line of succession, making her THE heir to the Iron Throne, as the sister of the previous king. And she clearly knows more about Targaryen women whose claim was disputed by their in-family rivals(Dance of Dragons).
- The crucifixion of the Meereenese nobles serves a dual purpose: First, it shows the Masters that they're not masters anymore, their actions have consequences. And, second, it shows the former slaves that justice has been served. This quells any discontent they might have in regards to the masters' actions. This is not the act of an arbitrary ruler, but a calculating one. Remember what she asked Ser Barry? "How many children were crucified?"
