  Actually it doesn't, because she is so stupid, she believes her own villian-monologue, this makes her the perfect pawn.

Pawn yes.
Informed, no.

Who tells their SooperSekritPlanz(tm) to their pawns?  That kind of silliness is for the low-level villains.

Bianca did believe her own villain-monologue.  It would have been incredibly dangerous for  her to know that she was handing a trapped item to the Leanansidhe; I cannot imagine Cowl (or Mavra or whoever) trusting Bianca with that info.  It wouldn't have served their interests in any way, for Bianca to know this.

  Yes, it would if they also convinced her that her power would be greater if the Winter Court was overthrown.

"Give Morgana's Athame to the Leanansidhe" is sufficiently-destabilizing.  Lea herself likely didn't know of the Nemfection on the blade, but clearly she Got Ideas as soon as she saw the blade.

There was only risk in telling a climber like Bianca, and no upside for them.

  I think that depends on what was promised to her.  Just a tin foil hat thought, but what if Bianca
was infected?  I don't remember it saying that vampires are excluded from infection.. Not saying that it does and I missed it.. ::) Anyway, we've got a sort of logical reason for Bianca wanted to take out Harry, she blames him for her losing control and feeding until death her beloved secretary.  Well maybe... But what if it was Nemesis that urged her to do it?  Then fed the revenge idea in her head?
Nemesis has got to know that the star born Harry will someday be a threat to them.. On it all backfired beginning with Harry able to turn the tables on Bianca, thus killing her.. Mab was able to figure out that the knife was infected to save the Winter Court, though she lost one of her beloved daughters..
