Yeah... no. For starters, the grief seeds contain no energy, at least none usable by magical girls. If you pay attention, you'll see that the "energy" was transfered from Mami's egg to the grief seed. Grief seeds are used to purify magical girl's egg, preventing them from dimming and turning pitch black. What happens if a magical girl egg turn black? The answer seems fairly obvious: they turn into witches. Of course, that's still speculation for now.
As for Homerun, Mami is trying to portray her as a villain, and I see you're fallling for it
If Homura were as greedy as you think she is, she could have used even more radical means to accomplish her goal. For example, kill Madoka and Sayaka. Incidentally, please note that she doesn't seem to give a damn about Sayaka. I think it's clear she's looking out for Madoka's best interest. She wanted to kill Kyuube so that Madoka wouldn't end up in a Faustian contract with him, however it's too late now that they've met. So all she can do now is watch over her (it's really all she was doing in episode 2), and pray Madoka won't forget her warning.
