Korra has a really difficult time judging adults' intentions, and a habit of establishing her independence from one adult by going to another one. Clearly Unalaq was bad news. Maybe if she's that bad at reading people, she can talk Lin into teaching her the lie detector thing?
Eska is a clear physical threat to his safety and life, she's actually made death threats to him and is capable of carrying them out. Do the writers not see that?
I'm not sure they do, which is absolutely bizarre to me. She's a girl (I think, is she a woman yet?), and therefor not really dangerous, even if captivity, isolation, and waterbending tsunamis manifestly are. Therefor if captivity, isolation, and waterbending tsunamis come from a girl, they're not dangerous. Especially after Azula, this attitude is really disheartening.
CHILD MOLESTER: I didn't touch that kid TOPH: *singsong voice* I can tell you're lying!
I don't think it would be a problem either. The only problem right now is hidebound risk adverse often themselves bigoted television execs who feel uncomfortable with anything "unproven".
