Awful people take jobs that involve risking their life in a good cause and then do those jobs and risk their lives in a good cause, every day.

The text is very clear that they aren't in much danger in the burning building, but it doesn't matter enough to debate, because nobody doubts that Miko would risk her life to save innocents if that were the situation.

But she very likely would use detect evil to be sure it was worth her time.

Physical courage is a good quality, but having it doesn't mean you have any other good qualities.

You seem to be arguing that when (for example) Roy tells Miko off, that the characters are telling us something that Miko's actions don't show. But the idea there is that Roy was the one who was slow to see something about Miko that the rest of the party and the audience (mostly) had seen right away.
