I don't think she is a clone, since her hair and eye color, among other points, are somewhat different from Kurisu's, but it is certainly something that gets the fandom buzzing, and since Zero is taking a significantly different route with her than in the Epigraph Trilogy, she could end up maybe being some far-related cousin of Kurisu.

About your second point, first, please give spoiler warnings of some kind when talking about this part. SPOILERS (highlight to read)[ Many fans don't know yet about Leskinen's role in the Epigraph Trilogy. Now to my answer, that is an interesting theory for why he would have chosen her. Having only read up til the last-released chapters of the Pandora manga adaptation, I have always been wondering myself, how did Leskinen know that Kagari would go time traveling in the future and to appropriately brainwash her for it...? He wouldn't have known, right? Then he picked her because she was connected to Mayuri who was connected to Okabe? What did he originally want for her to do in the 2030s? Why brainwash her to destroy the IBN5100? In that future time? Well, anyway, we don't know yet if she will be brainwashed in SG 0. I wonder how else she would have gotten separated from Suzuha... ]
