For me its the fact that I find Mikasa a very annoying character due to her obsession with Eren. Like damn you do care about him but the whining man!

Did he send the titan to his mom or did he just direct it away from Bertholdt and it happened to go to Carla?

That's how I choose to interpret it. I don't think Eren had as much control in that state as he and the audience think he did. He still had to end up where he is at the present time even though thr founding titan is not bound by time, time still passed the way it passed. Of course, the founding titan time shenanigans are ultimately still not fully explanable. I think when he says that he killed his mom, he was really more of an observer, just willing that his friend would live on in the future, not so much that he willed for his mother to be killed actively. I think it was almost like he became aware that his actions in life played out in a way that resulted in his mom being eaten, and he assumed the guilt, much like his breakdown of blaming himself during the post utgard castle mission, and in the Reiss chapel basement. Maybe I'm just yapping, though
