They are literally the opposite.
She never committed genocide in pursuit of Mengsk.
Her compassion was NOT an exception. Later on, she decides to pull back her forces and allow the evacuation of the capital knowing full well that that would jeopardize her own invasion. She still did it because she felt it was her duty to ensure minimal casualties in her quest for revenge. The general was also asking for it, he taunted Kerrigan too much, and he knew it. He made a snarky comment about Raynor, knowing full well that Kerrigan was weak emotionally at the time. He basically begged her to kill him. He knew very well that he was doomed anyway. Plus he was a soldier, he knew what he signed up for. Unlike the innocent civilians of Teldrassil.
Blizzard literally just confirmed that Undead are not damned in any way. The Arbiter doesn't take account of Undeath when judging a soul. This "Undead are damned to the Maw" headcanon was always that: headcanon. And it was finally shut down by Blizzard.
Sylvanas' facade was that of a leader who, despite her evil actions, cared about the Horde. That facade ended in 8.2.5, when Sylvanas revealed her true nature. She doesn't care about anyone but herself. No, using nice words like "us" or "everyone" doesn't change the fact that she's doing all this because, simply put, she's salty SHE went to a bad afterlife. As I said, if she went to an afterlife she liked, she wouldn't have done all this. Blizzard isn't even trying to hide this obvious nuance. Stop taking what villains say at face value.
You people need to stop comparing Sylvanas and Kerrigan because they are TWO DIFFERENT CHARACTERS. It's not like just because these two games are made by the same company then they are made by the same team. Sylvanas is her own character with her own story, Kerrigan is her own character with her own story. Stop forcing comparisons where there are none.
It's not even a clever comparison, because Kerrigan is way more similar to Arthas, especially after it was revealed that the Jailer was a strong presence within the Helm of Domination.
