Yes, I think it's a given that she doesn't care about the Baker and his Wife, except that she basically dislikes them and has contempt for them. I agree that the only reason she offers the remove the curse is to get them to obtain the objects needed to remove the curse, and she can't do that herself since she is not allowed to touch the objects. So she needs them, but she doesn't like them or care about them. She loathes them.

No reason is offered why it must be done in three days, but it's part of the three midnights thing in Cinderella, it's there to align with that. But no reason is given for why the Baker and his Wife have three days from the time she first speaks to them about it. The director and the Witch just need to come up with something for their own sakes, even though the audience will never know.
