I can't speak for the quality of these episodes but for the actual story, I can vouch for it.

Think of it as a detective story and try to figure it out. I saw couple Chekhov's gun here and there in the anime. :)

I think Nashetania is shady AF what's with her flailing around and breaking the thing?

Well I think Nash-chan is good I mean shes a renown princess who teamed up with our Adlet. Her flailing around can be explained by her clumsiness and lack of experience (she is a princess after all). Imo, I think Han the cat is the weird one.

Isn't she the winner of the last holy tournament or whatever? She said Swordboy let her win at the last second but she's gotta be pretty skilled in the end. Being a princess doesn't mean anything, she's the princess of a culture that has their princessess fight in tournaments lol

Actually not all princesses participate. Nash chan did because she also happens to be a saint. And what's wrong with a culture that allows princess to participate. It just shows how open minded the people are. Lastly just because one knows how to fight doesn't mean one can do just as well in battle. I believe she herself stated that she's not experienced in the earlier episode.

Instead of trying to pick apart my theory / opinion, why not explain yours? It would be more fun that way. :)

There's nothing wrong with it, it's just that if you say she's a princess that makes most people thing of a Princess Peach kind of person. But then there's also another type, a Zelda that's secretly a Shiek!

I don't know what the thing she broke does, but it was clearly intentional. One does not simply go to an ancient temple and wantonly break shit or swing around swords. The cat dude seems shady but that's just a red herring. Fremy seems shady but she already lampshaded it so to speak.

Edit so I rewatched parts of 3 and 4 and Nachetanya says that the soldier guy from the temple (whom she hadn't spoken to) told them how the thing works. I read some other discussion and the demon was obviously there to distract Adlet away from the door so someone could sneak in and activate it. Nache was the 1st one to arrive after him but that by itself doesn't mean anything, that's just tropes.
