Shouldn't really come as a surprise that Maglor reminds her of the white king, especially in the fact the last time she spoke to him, he had accepted his demise and gave up his life so that Alice could breech what was left of the queen's castle. Lot of Maglor's mannerisms are certainly regal to her, very soft, and dark at the same time. When thinking of the white king, he does remind her of her father as well. Arthur was, of course, a very educated man, lover of arts, photography, and creativity. She knows that he's a bard and bards are typically seen as storytellers in her world and so was her father. He actually used to bring back pictures to her to look at and nurtured her creative nature.
When he died, he, too, much like the white king told her and her sister to run and leave. To save themselves. He says to her in a memory "Whoever destroys a soul, destroys the world. There is much wisdom in that, Alice." and she carries that to heart. She also sees a bit of herself in the fact he's grieving so much that it's driven him to madness as well as near death. Alice has suffered like that, too, and she has a deep regret that she could have not done more to save those around her from suffering. His manner of speaking, his self-loathing upsets her; she is a bit envious that he and Celegorm had each other, much like Legolas had his dad and Galadriel has her daughter. Maglor and Lancelot serve as a constant reminder too as well that she left a lot of people behind who suffer. She has not accepted and I don't think she will for a very long time that her guilt over it is irrational.
So she slapped him because she wants him to see he can change it. She thinks that he can still fight it out, that he can be strong, too. Alice will not be optimistic for herself, but she will for others. She wants to encourage them to keep moving, fighting, and get better, regardless. She knows he's dangerous, but Alice has really forgone the fact that she's surrounded by dangerous people to begin with. As such, he can push her away (like Lancelot) but she'll stubbornly stick around. His grief over his brother eventually pushed her to the Redgate to fight with the others, because she is that angry. It broke her heart to see the end of of that battle, even if it was under the stupidest reasons.
Her feelings for the seelie has plummeted, when Clarisse refused to give up the silmaril when so many pleaded it to be returned. She saw it as selfish, she thought Celegorm was ridiculous, and so Alice trudged out into that battle to see if she could persuade them to not do it. It didn't turn out that way, so she joined the others in Redgate to see that mission completed.
Long story short, things are messed up and Alice has really had it seeing people suffer like that.
