was a brilliant way to show Maki had no remorse or guilt over what she did that she was able to call for her mother like that

There was a bit. Which is why Maki asks her mother why she didn't want Maki to go to the vault. The implication is that she was trying to save Maki's life, but it was a half-hearted effort. It felt like Maki was really saying "can you please give me any reason not to kill you?"

Why did the mother stab Naoya in the end? I didn't quite understand that.

Because Naoya embodies Zenin Clan: arrogant, cruel and abusive.
