Yes, homura is obsessed wiht Madoka, and homura mostly said the truth.

But what she did was also stroking Sayaka's ego. First, she gave the grief seed for sayaka to get better. When Sayaka continued to want to hate homura because of her preconceptions (Sayaka *always* either attack someone without facts or believe them too much), Homura went the other way round and decided to have sayaka be pleased about how clever she was, *while still trying to make her use the grief seed*.

Even when homura "threatened" sayaka, most of what she did was fullfilling sayaka's image of her while still telling her 'use the grief seed, DAMMIT'.

The only thing Kyoko got in the way of was Homura trying to kill another character in the series.
When homura wants to kill someone, she does. She was threatening sayaka in order for her to use the grief seed.

In fact, if you look at the actual dialog, she was saying "if you don't use the grief seed, i'll have to kill you", which is pretty much true as Sayaka would become a witch.
