Her being evil is up for debate, but she was mostly resentfull at the gods and desired to rid Remnant of them. She didn't have a desire for destruction and dominion, however. That's what the black pool gave her, along with more Grimm-like attributes. So no, not just her appearance was changed. Jinn even stated that the pools created a a being of infinite life with a desire for pure destruction.

As for her goal...Remember what she was doing before she and Ozma became enemies? They were rebuilding the world in their own image. She even stated that herself, that they were guiding humanity on a path they desired. Or rather, she desired. So I think that, by destroying the current civilization, she plans to rebuild Remnant into what she believes is a better civilization.

As for her summoning the gods...I don't think Salem is planning to commit suicide, seeing how she wants to make the gods suffer. I think she believes that the power she currently wields, along with the power of the Relics, might be enough to finally get her revenge.
