At the time, neither Vickers nor the others knew that the guy was "turning evil".
All she knew was he was sick.
Her rationale was he cannot reboard the ship, because of the risk of some kind of communicable infection.
If you remember also, she has her own secret, private medical bay, and gets highly irritated that not only has Elizabeth seen it, she was also pressing buttons on it.
Her reason for burning Charlie, was more than likely for her own survival.
I think she says something along the lines of "I cannot allow a sick man on my ship" even though it's neither her ship, nor is she actually in charge of anything.
Delacourt didn't know about Max's illness either. All she cared about was retrieving the info from Max's brain.
Her role, is simply the safety and security of Elysium... and showing face at parties with the rich and famous.
Regardless of the orders from higher in the chain of command, she will kill people.
After she opened fire on those ships, her superiors call her and question her... and her reaction is to belittle them and treat them like they have no understanding of what job they've actually tasked her with... and she explains in simple terms "You hired me to do this. Do you want me to do my job or not?" kinda thing.
Not her exact words, but words to that extent.
Like, you hired me to ensure security... I am simply doing that. If you don't like it, then you're obviously too dumb to know how to run this establishment.
She talks down to her superiors... and takes her actions to the extreme, and uses the job at hand as the excuse for her extreme actions.
Her retrieval of the info in Max's head is also, secretly, going to allow her to overthrow her superiors, and give her total control of Elysium.
Killing Max... overthrows her superiors. And she was prepared, without any remorse, to do it.
Just like opening fire on civilians. She ordered it with no remorse.
