Plants and pictures will make work seem nicer. Sounds good.
My personal opinion on the interview email thing is that your "Good Luck" email was appropriate and sufficient.
I think that she was out of line to say that you needed to say any more than that. Why does she have to right to dictate what you want to say? If that is all you wanted to say, then that is enough. Plus you did just what she asked you to do (wish her good luck).
Now, just because she is out of line doesn't mean that you are a terrible person!!
The two of you want to be friends and want to meet each other's needs. Maybe you can explicitly ask for what you want. Just beware that the other may say that they can't give you that, or that they can't give you that right now. Sometimes it is hard to ask (like it is hard for you to go upstairs to her when you are suicidal), but if you have an agreement that you WANT the other person to ask then it will be easier. Guessing what is needed/wanted is so hard.
She sounds like a friend worth fighting for. You just need to get the communication straightened out.
