Regarding your first post, it's too vague to count as clear evidence. Magic can be used in many ways, it only says "with the help of a little magic". I've seen people bringing this up a number of times, they've never been able to prove it was mind control (let alone without Geralt's knowledge) or anything like that. Putting that aside, this kind of thing isn't unusual among sorceresses, given that Fringilla Vigo and Yennefer also did or tried to do similar in the books.

On the amnesia bit, it's not known in TW1 that Yennefer's still alive, she's assumed to have died to save Geralt, no one talks about her in that game, it's not only Triss who says nothing. And Geralt specifically agrees not to talk about his past until he learns more on his own. Using Yennefer's lines in TW1 is just bad writing by CDPR (being their first game on a low budget), Triss didn't even hear those in the books, it's a stupid theory that she "aped" Yennefer like that to be more attractive to Geralt. Obviously, she does feel bad about not talking before once it's found out Yennefer's in fact alive, but it doesn't mean she did so out of malice at the time.

The Lambert thing is both unproven and irrelevant, it's basically a conspiracy theory. Even if it was true, it would've been a relationship that began at a time when Geralt was still thought to be dead, and ended soon after his return. So, I wouldn't see much wrong with it, not to mention both Geralt and Yennefer cheated themselves in the past.

All of these have also been discussed here and here, while those posts aren't exactly how I would explain it myself, they make good enough points to link them to save some typing.

All in all, I get the impression some are just looking for any argument and unproven theory to justify their preconceived hatred towards a fictional character. Which is kind of sad, regardless of who the character is.
