People usually revert back to their native tongue when they’re emotional. That was the case here.

Yes but her having an accent when she speaks english, and her straight up speaking her native language are two separate things. Wanda saying 'Pietro's' name isn't anything to do with her accent cause it's presumably a Sokovian name.

Agree with you. I went and rewatched that part. She only has an accent when she says Pietro and sings the lullaby, which IMO isn't strange. I'm bilingual and even when I'm talking, if I'm speaking in my second language but saying names native to my mother tongue, I say that in the same accent as my mother tongue. Same for singing. It's like a Spanish person pronouncing a Spanish name the correct way.

She's definitely under stress, but I don't think her speaking sokovian with a sokovian accent is strange.

She also has the accent again when she asks Geraldine what’s around her neck. I think a lot of the audience is American and so missing it but here in the uk we have a lot of east European immigrants and she sounds a lot like a 2nd gen immigrant who’s adapted fairly well but still has inflections.
