I think she wouldn't have been able to push him anyways: regardless of whether the action could have resulted in non-fatal injuries, her intent would have been murderous and that would have prevented her from trying. And I don't picture her as having enough mortal restraint to only try to harm him but not kill him in order to find a loophole in Isaac's writing, if that were even an option.

Well, regardless, Emma knew nothing of that and she was all out of options. I rarely root for her, but I don't really see how some self-defence gone wrong can turn her into a villain. As I said, half the Storybrooke populace has hurt someone one way or another.
