I don't think so. The source of Madoka's meek nature is well explained in the series:

Madoka: "I thought I had nothing good going for me. I thought I would continue on living until I died, never helping anyone, never being useful. That made me frustrated, and it made me feel alone. But I thought I couldn't do anything about it."

Considering that, the only reason she behaves more confident in TIME LINE 1 is because she's already a magical girl. I don't think the writer wanted the audience to think it was actual character development, but rather to notice how instead of trying to better herself as a normal human, Madoka chose the easy way out and ended giving up her soul because of it.

In hindsight, the present Madoka will probably be a lot wiser, but let's see what happens.
