Making her a vampire would have done more than spare Khalida. It would have bound her to Neferata's will, there was probably more than fondness to that choice.
Certainly true, yeah. Given the situation I'm dubious Khalida could have remained Queen at the same time Neferata was one, but her personal skills and prowess would likely have been at Neferata's disposal. Still, making her a vampire was also definitely a pretty big risk, so the 'some affection there' explanation makes more sense to me than anything else.
