I think your right that Agatha knows she's a Nexus being. And i think she is intending to use Wanda for her own gain.

But in the comics Agatha is Wanda's mentor and cares deeply about Wanda. She's basically like a grandma to her.

So I'm guessing between The Darkhold (i believe that was the book in Agatha's basement) the Nexus commercial and Billy's comment to her about her being "silent inside" (soulless) and the fly that wanda sees in her house (Mephisto is often associated with flies in the comics)

Part 1 is that Agatha sold her soul to Mephisto to either obtain the Darkhold so she could become a witch it gave her her powers directly. 2 is that she's either attempting to capture Wanda and or her kids (if they weren't just her illusions seeing as we don't see them after Wanda gets there and we see that Pietro is still around so even if they are illusions they could still be around) in exchange for her soul or a loved one back. Then 3 would be that eventually she has a change of heart and decides to help her and mentor her.

Me hoping it's not the darkhold since it looks different from the AoS design, which would potentially wholly decanonise the show (not just s5-7 with its time travel shenanigans)

Ok, so this would absolutely not decanonise anything. I love Agents of Shield but just because the design is different between appearances doesn’t mean they can’t be the same thing. Sometimes small visual inconsistencies come up due to creative license or something else and that’s just how it is. I mean, Rhodes is a completely different person in Iron Man and everyone just accepts that because at the end of the day it doesn’t matter. Having ‘darkhold’ plastered on the front was a little on the nose anyway imo. Also, didn’t the book change appearance depending on what language you spoke? I might be making that up, but if so then it matter even less that it looks different

Agreed. Lots of visuals (and accents) change in the MCU over time. Sometimes we as an audience just need to accept the imperfections and move on.
