Yes, Mab completely accepts that Harry has obligations to other people besides herself. That is why she send Lea to teach Molly for example and Harry's obligations to the council are not different. She could have a different understanding of those obligations than Harry though.
Harry just needs to meet all his obligations.

The White Council and Mab understand each other very well, they also respect each other's power and place in the universe. To both of them Harry is a valuable chess piece to be moved or sacrificed

That too, you might say that Susan was manipulating Harry, because after six years she finally decided to tell him about little Maggie. The only reason she did that was little Maggie was in mortal danger and the only person who could or would help is Harry, she needed him..

And Harry did not betray her in any way, he did exact what she wanted from him and now he needs to be a father for Maggie. That is what Susan would have wanted him to be as well.

Yup, I'd call that successful manipulation on Susan's part.
