Well I think her story definitely changed between season 3 and season 4... And the writers had to do what they could to string it together.
I took the thing towards the end of season 4 as her panic move to survive after realizing her death was the final seal. Which she eventually gave up on. Did they ever elaborate on that ep?
See, I always took it as this in regards to Lilith's storyline:
when she finally left Hell, since Sam wasn't onboard with being on the demon's side and with Azazel dead, she sent Ruby to persuade Sam into killing Lilith while also tormenting the brothers with the fact that Lilith "wants Sam dead" to further encourage Sam into being instructed by Ruby and that finally worked out for the demons when Dean went to Hell. And with her season four episode, I think Lilith just tried to use seduction as another way to get under Sam's skin; Sam did already sleep with a demon(Ruby) so perhaps Lilith was trying to piss Sam off that way, knowing that Sam did actually care for Ruby and wouldn't do something like that, even if it's meant to save the world from the Apocalypse. And I think that was Lilith's plan for all two seasons; while trying to start up the 66 Seals, she was trying to royally piss Sam off enough for Sam to want to kill her, without knowing that Lilith herself was the final seal. And also, in that same episode, Dean asked Sam if he would've made the deal and Sam said Lilith would've just weaseled out of it anyways.
So, I think even though with the re-writes of her character, Lilith pretty much stayed the same way in which she was trying to get under Sam's skin, whether it be wanting him dead or seducing him, imo.
