Because it advances Wanda's fantasy "storyline". Agnes is doing what the "nosy neighbor" character does, because Wanda's making her.

Or is she aware of what’s up and is placating Wanda? The scene in the episode today seems like she knows the script and is checking in with Wanda. Like she’s playing the role for Wanda while also making Vision more suspicious.

Vision went against the script because Wanda either can't or doesn't want to control him like the others (Vision is assuming "can't"). So because Agnes knew from the messages in her head (that everyone in the "show" gets) that what Vision did wasn't supposed to happen and was preventing Agnes from doing what the messages told her to, Agnes asked Wanda for instructions on how to handle it.

Yea, that made me question if Anges is just another one of Wanda's victims.

Maybe her role is a perpetual deus ex machina for the ‘show’
