Uhh I think it's kinda portrayed as a flaw of the character as being extremely lonely and insecure in a lot of ways, but its not treated as pedophilic or outright morally wrong.
I don't think so. They were in a life or death situation where she was sending off shinji for what would be the last time. She gave him the kiss, but likely knew they wouldn't see each other again.
To expand on that a little, for Shinji she's simultaneously his caretaker, a big sister figure, an object of lust, and his commander, and each of them is a deeply traumatized wreck at that point. The show doesn't cast any judgement on it, but it is definitely supposed to be a deeply weird moment
I think it was in End of Evangelion and they might have edited the English version on cable.
Was this treated as creepy and/or wrong in the show?

It's been a really long time for me, but I thought the wank scene was about how royally fucked up Shinji was
