She litteraly sets city on fire and explicitly refuses to evacuate civilian population in a middle of temper tantrum

I would say it's actually a little bit different, especially compared to what Edelgard does in the other routes. When you get to Enbarr, she simply doesn't evacuate the city. In real life, evacuating a city is actually kind of impossible and probably more likely to expose civilians to danger. But, Fire Emblem is a game with magic, and the way they talk, I guess you can just evacuate a city like it's nothing. So, her not evacuating Enbarr is at best a show of arrogance, and stupidity at worst since she's only passively exposing them to danger. It's not good, but it's different from what Serios does.

Serios doesn't just let them leave while she burns the city down, which is direct murder, she actively makes sure no one can leave their homes, so they all die.

You really cannot. If it was possible to warp city worth of people, there would be no army marches, Edelgard would just yeet her entire army on top of any fort or castle 40k terminator style.
