Even if Jinn wasn't using the classic genie word trickery, there is also the fac that she can't see in the future. For example, if destroying Salem reguired a robot with human soul and powers of a Maiden (unlikely and just random example) then Jinn couldn't have told that to Oz because a being like that wasn't possible at the time of his question.

Has this in fact been said? Because she seems to be pretty much omniscient, at least where the past and present are concerned. If that is the case, with technology having seemingly made such rapid strides in the past eighty years, it is possible it'll play out like that. Like that episode of Buffy (which, let's face it, these dorks almost certainly saw).

As for the idea that she would die upon being saved, I'll say that either that's not the case, or she can't be saved, since that would then have been a plausible answer to have given Ozma. The same for silver eyes, since by that point Ozma had had silver-eyed children. Again, any twist of that kind would be so ludicrously inconsistent with her giving a revelation to rival John's to a question that could have been answered in a sentence or two (highlighted by the fact that they only ever seem to mention the last sentence or two).
