More than that, I was struck by Uruvi's unnecessary arrogance when she expresses surprise at Karn not knowing her name, as "humein sab jaante hain!". And again when she accuses him of not having the right to damage the jewel, which is nonsense.
It is an instinctively defensive reaction. She senses the attraction subconciously, and is fighting it. Otherwise, it would be uncharacteristic of the normally pleasant Uruvi to be so abrupt and aggressive.

Hello! This is a great observation actually! I was also a little surprised by her sudden aggression towards him. Her mental process was pretty interesting to follow. I believe it happened in three steps. First, her friends were teasing her about the damaged gemstone and Karna..she instantly found herself thinking about him...her reaction to her friends mentioning Karna's curly hair and good looks was pretty telling! She is clearly aware of the attraction on a subconscious level as you said!
Then, she starts feeling agitated and decides to go to the source of her agitation! I am sure you noticed...her reaction to Karna's doorkeepers stopping her was also especially arrogant. She says, "do din nahi hua raja bane.."...I found that very interesting! As you pointed out, she is so visibly angry at him because she is attracted to him! Her surprising bitterness is a result of this fatal attraction!
In the third step, her attraction is a tangible thing, particularly evident in the moment posted above. It was interesting to notice how affected she was when Karna said "aap?" from behind. It's like she can feel the sensations of his voice. Then, Karna simply says "parichay nahi hua" and she is instantly angry again. When she doesn't talk to him, she can fantasize and pretend but when she actually talks to him, it probably feels more real to her. So she feels disturbed and caged! There's this line in the bgm they use on Karna/Uruvi, "Tu jo khinche woh dor main". I believe this explains Uruvi's current situation best. She is being pulled towards him and she doesn't know how to stop. So she lashes out! Your explanation of the situation was ideal. This is exactly what's happening here!
The jewel, has become a bit of a metaphor I feel. There was this line in the episode, I forgot who said it, "chot jisne diya hai, wohi thik karega." I think it's safe to assume that this jewel is a symbol of something bigger. Karna damages the jewel so Uruvi wants him to fix it...or fix her. There is certainly a wound, it's the slow-developing wound in her heart.
About Jodha-Akbar, I thought exactly of that! 😆
Edit: I have rewatched the Gemstone conversation and there are layers to this exchange. Before this scene, Uruvi's friends wonder aloud, "man ke chot ko thik karne kahan ja sakti hai?" The conversation between Karna and Uruvi about this gemstone follows right behind. Uruvi asks, "Aap ke teer ne iss ka yeh avastha kiya hai. Yeh aap phir se jod ke de sakte hai mujhe?" Karna says no, he can't. Uruvi, then, asks, "phir aap ko iss ko todne ka adhikar kisne diya?" This whole conversation is entirely metaphorical. I don't think either of them quite understand, especially not Karna...that they are actually talking about something else entirely.
