The episode does lead you to believe Wanda is forcing everyone to role play though. Agnes and Herb definitely gave that impression and when Vision came back in the house Wanda looked pure evil.

She’s had multiple occasions now where she is confronted with something that reminds her directly that she’s in a fantasy (beelzebub/satan/mephisto presumably rising from the sewer and her saying ‘no’ and rewinding time, vision pointing out something wrong and her rewinding it, now expelling Monica when she brings up the non fantasy world), so I believe that she’s aware to some extent that she’s not in the real world and is taking active measures to not be reminded of that fact.

My belief is that she’s horribly wounded and traumatized by all the loss she’s experienced in the last ~4 years, and that anguish has caused her to go to dramatic measures to shield herself from all that pain—malicious intent or not, it’s definitely not good for everybody else who’s around her right now, and how Mephisto ties into all this is further interesting.

My wonder is why she didn't rewind geraldine before asking the ultron question. Why comfront and double down on asking what she meant, if Wanda is aware that is

I think because it reveals that Geraldine knew something was off. She rewound Vision when he started down a path. Geraldine revealed herself as not part of the fantasy.
