Why is she falling into the exact same arc again when she has already gone through it? More nonsensically, why is her response to act differently than what already proved to work in the past?

She even says in that scene that she knows the looks the people were giving Jon because her people gave her that same look from across the Narrow Sea.

What was the point of it all if she wasn't going to use in Westeros what she learned in Meereen?

Why is she getting desperate? She spent six seasons on the other continent. It was told that she could have come over at any moment with her dragons, but she needed allies to take King's Landing. Now that many of her allies are dead, why is she panicking and forcing them into a battle they aren't ready for?
She is panicking because everything is falling apart.
She came to Westeros with 3 dragons and the 'greatest army the world has ever seen', and it's now all falling apart - for a bunch of reasons on almost every front.

Whether you like or not how it got to where it is, panic and desperation is probably a fair reaction, though not a very good one
