Okina didn't know about Clownpiece and her being a hell fairy until she actually met her. She wasn't planning to use her specifically.
From her words and actions, we can deduce Okina had two goals with the incident:
-Set up a situation they can't ignore to bait hell into showing their hand and taking action
-Keep an eye on Cirno, a promising potential subordinate, and see what she (and other fairies) would do about the situation
By a stroke of good fortune (not too dissimilar from Cirno unknowing gaining doyou from Larva's back door), fate brings both together and allows Okina to achieve both her goals in one fell swoop, which would be a better result that she ever could've hoped for.
She flexes on the unknown threat's underling and makes herself known in the process, thus ending the threat, while also learning more about fairies in the process.
She's not the kind of schemer who tries to control every piece on the board, like Yukari. Okina just sets up a big show and adjusts her plans based on what happens next, and if Clownpiece had never appeared to her, she likely would've fucked around with the fairies Hecatia would bring down to hell and make a huge mess there.

And yes, I do expect characters to act in line with what they know and what they are capable of. It's probably asking too much of ZUN, but it's not a weird thing to expect from a story.
