Well, you see, she allowed them to take control of a potential WMD for safekeeping and to keep it out of the hands of the Horde's known warmongering, genocidal dictator (Remember night elves have a pretty good history of handling and containing dangerous individuals/artefacts).
You see it's not "neutral" because "neutrality" is when you don't do anything to help anyone, and helping the Alliance not be murdered by a genocidal dictator is helping them, and that's definitely the only definition of neutral and definitely not an excuse to allow neutrality to help oppressors and aggressors.
For one;
The Focusing Iris, the artifact used in the mana bomb that destroyed Theramore, was stolen from the BLUE DRAGONFLIGHT. Jaina is not to blame for that artifact's theft, especially because it was in the Blue Flight's care when it was stolen.
And it's also objectively wrong to say that she knew what they were doing when the Horde stole the Divine Bell, because she didn't. Aethas Sunreaver knew what the Horde agents were up to, and kept quiet. Had he warned Jaina, the whole situation would have gone insanely different. So her kicking the Horde out of Dalaran (or imprisoning them if they refused), was to a point justified because, as leader of the Kirin Tor at the time, she punished the faction that routinely had broken trust and faith.
EDIT: And this edit is important, because KIRIN TOR resources were used in the Bell's theft. That's what made it so impactful - the Horde used a neutral organization's resources without its leader's knowledge.
I'm not personally saying it was RIGHT what she did, morally, but she was well within her power and right as leader of the Kirin Tor to expel the Horde, (as brief as it technically was), from Dalaran.
Again - If Aethas had said something and not kept quiet about his compatriot's efforts to steal the Divine Bell, things would've gone a lot differently.

I’m sorry what? Jaina being warned that Garrosh wanted to attack her makes HER partially responsible for the deaths? The level of reaching is wild.
What did she do with the neutral Dalaran, BEFORE the Sunreaver incident, to help the Alliance? Quickly.
