Glinda is manipulating Dorothy into knocking out rival witches
I believe it. In the actual Oz books, Glinda is powerful but not omnipotent - she can look in her big book of records to see what's going on around Oz, but she mostly deals with it by arming a small party of people/animals with some magic and sending them off to do the work. (After the Wizard comes back to Oz in the third or fourth book, he becomes her apprentice and is always whipping out some spell or powder or other that Glinda gave him to use in emergencies.) So it's very much like her to use Dorothy to take out other witches.
