While I find the theory that Wanda was controlling Stanly interesting, I just don't think it's possible that Maggie would be unable to know it. Since the archeons are able to tell who is under Thinkmancy, so too should Maggie (she may have been mindlinked the entire time Stanly was under Wanda's supposed control but it's obvious they retain some awarness. Maggie would have known).

Besides, why would Stanly need to use Thinkmancy on her when there is the natural Thinkmancy?

Obedience leaves her unable to conspire against him. That would include mind controlling him and becoming the new de facto ruler.
Loyalty could leave her unable act against him, even if she wants to. Just because it's an unknowable stat does NOT mean they have control over it.
Duty means she has to do what she thinks stanly would want (casters are effectively commanders so it affects her).

She joined Stanly because it was that or death with the rest of FAQ. No mystery there. Apperently Jillian has some control over herself but that's likely because she's a mercenary not part of any particular nation. In fact, this is the whole reason WHY Parson might be able to split them up. If the army had all been one nation then this would be impossible. Wanda is now an adopted member of the Plaid tribe and cannot escape until Stanly is dead.
