Theres definitely a lot of grey area regarding the morality of all characters in this series but what it all boils down to is what they murder -for-. Night Raid is battling an oppressive empire and the Jaegers are defending it, so although Night Raid does kill people it's a necessary evil.

Many characters of the Jaegers though fall under the category of "sympathetic villain" where they are bad guys but aren't necessarily bad people. It's hard for me to see any sympathy for Esdeath because she enjoys dealing out pain, thats just inherently evil. Most of the other Jaegers though I feel could someday see the light and switch sides (Kurome and Wave).

I highly doubt Esdeath would ever assist Night Raid. If she ever defected from the Empire it wouldnt matter because she has committed atrocities (Numa Seika, the rape and torture of his people, she knowingly allowed her forces to do all this) so why would the Revolutionary Army ever accept her? They would want to execute her if anything. The Empire is literally all she has, and i'm sure she knows this.
