I suspect Mab of having the kind of monomaniacal fanaticism that puts "personal survival" somewhere below her own top-3 priorities. By her lights, any Winterfae who can take her out deserve to inherit the Queen of Air and Darkness' mantle, and she hopes they are at least as innovative & tricky in fighting the Outsiders as they were in killing her...

It's questionable how much they can actually oppose Mab. Between CD & SG, Mab subverted all the Pixie-borne messengers Harry tried to send to Molly (trying to get Molly's help with "the parasite").
Of course Mab absolutely noticed Harry taking down Aurora via Pixie warband; she will have immediately developed countermeasures for that, and anything derivative (such as Captain Hook's nail javelins); also their work intercepting Ethniu's kamikazes on the castle-roof, and more.
Mab has been living and breathing Winterfae tactics & strategies for over a thousand years, so even if Harry comes up with novelties, she will adapt incredibly-quickly (and she has an incredibly-deep playbook to draw upon).
Dina:
I think Mab actually treasures Harry. She does not want to show it, of course, but I think she does. Besides I believe they are growing closer, somewhat understanding each other. When they met, Harry says that Mab is too alien to understand but I do not think that is still true for him. Also, personal opinion here, some of you probably remember my old theory. Someday Mab is going to ask Harry to kill her. It will backfire because at the time Harr y will love her (not as a romantic partner!) and so he will be free of the WK work while still having his healthy spine.

As has been noted, Toot is getting larger and shouldn't be underestimated. Mab won't.
Dina:
In my opinion, Mab will only encourage her Knight. The wild folk are loyal to him, not just because they are fae and are forced to pay their debts. They are truly loyal. And Mab knows what difficult that is. If she loses Harry, she will loose that. She will prefer to exploit him. Also, Harry did that without being ordered or prompted. It is who he is. And Mab knows that could be the gift that keeps given.

Or a threat, especially if you add Molly into the mix.
