^ I agree with most of this except this part: "Finally, Lexa probably didn't consider what would happen to the Mountain Men/Sky People after this"

I think she did consider what might happen with the MM/SP. In fact, it was probably a major reason why she took the action she did. The Ice Nation is obviously a huge threat and the Coalition has been fragile since the beginning. Agreeing to a tentative truce with the MM would ensure the SP would (most likely) be eradicated, leaving only the MM to contend with. The MM would no longer have a need for Grounder blood (or Reapers to get them Grounders), however, it doesn't guarantee they won't remain a threat or become a worse one. Leaving the MM alive gave Lexa the benefit of having a common enemy keeping the Coalition together. Clarke had to go ruin all that.
