I am left with the impression Minthara does get some hints from the Absolute or its three disciples but they are open to interpretation. Or indeed she got some orders from the Absolute but you do persuade her that you are an exceptional person and a waste to be killed.
To be honest, I am surprised a lot of the discussion is focused around Minthara. She is not badly written, I think. She is not portrayed as very sane and is heavily tainted by the (backstabbing) drow culture. It is clear what she loves about Tav: his power and ability to impose it on the others. It is not a healthy relationship.
