I think your characterization is dead-on, and I'm sorry I haven't had a chance to review your drabble properly! There must be a lot at play for Tonks--and I think at this stage she'd still be vulnerable from her injuries at the DoM--and I think not really grasping the enormity of Remus' mission at this point--i.e., not seeing exactly the toll it will take on him or knowing the full danger at this point--would have her too angry to see him at that point (or afraid she'll make a scene in front of others). So your take totally makes sense to me without Tonks coming off as being all wibbly over a boy.
I liked what sspring92 said about Tonks resenting Remus making the decision for her. That'd be a hard pill to swallow for a girl who went into a largely non-girl profession! She probably feels at this point that if anybody neesd protection, it's Remus, and that Dumbledore is doing this all wrong sending him out into danger.
