Ummm I've not seen anything in episode 5 or 6 that gives me the impression Nunnally has been "brainwashed" in any way shape or form. Not agreeing with Lelouch/Zero does not equal brainwashed. I personally think Nunnally would be pretty damn upset to find out her beloved brother in her name murdered Clovis and Euphie along with countless others.
I'd also beg to differ on Suzaku "using" Nunnally. One could argue just as easily that Lelouch is in fact "using" her to explain his own sociopathic tendencies and need for revenge. It seems pretty clear Suzaku does care about Nunnally as a person and unlike Lelouch does not have a past history of seeing people as nothing but pawns.
I think Nunnally wanting to follow in Euphie's footsteps makes complete sense. We saw in R1 that Nunnally was quite fond of Euphie, Nunnally has lived in Japan for a long time, as governor what better way to remember a beloved sister and to help a country she cares for?
