No, it would not be "JUST like Azula" to come on to her brother to mess with his head... Azula is not a sensual character in the least; she dominates through aggression and power.

While I do not personally have any interest in this ship, I think your logic is flawed. Rape and/or sexual abuse is quite often more about power and control than sensuality. On the contrast, I would expect that the only way Azula approaches sex would be through force and coercion, since she doesn't know how to connect on an intimate level normally (see also the Beach arc.)

I'm not tryin' to say that Azula is a rapist. I'm just saying the fact that she is a power-gamer and a dominant personality rather than a 'sensual character' does not rule out the possibility of sexual assault.

There is nothing hinting, let alone directly indicating, a propensity for rape or sexual assault by this character in canon, and that's what I'm referencing; therefore, my logic isn't "flawed". I'm not talking about an alternate reality where characters are speculated to do darker things because they were "hindered" by the network or audience sensitivities. Azula was written as a villain who cowed people through her forceful personality and bending prowess. Nothing more. You can theorize all you want outside of the show, but to correlate any behavior she displayed on-screen with the possibility of her being a closet sexual predator... no.

That rape/sexual assault is quite often more about power and control than sensuality still relies on the character's interest in engaging in such activities, which was never denoted with Azula. To make such heavy-handed claims requires far more in the way of proof than what we were given. This, again, seems more like alternate character interpretation than something found in strict canon text.

On the contrast, I would expect that the only way Azula approaches sex would be through force and coercion, since she doesn't know how to connect on an intimate level normally (see also the Beach arc.)

Possibly. But that's acting under the assumption she'd even be interested in sex at all.
