I read Harry’s suggestion not to investigate, and her responding smirk, as indicating that’s it’s already tacitly understood that the good guys actually killed the death eaters somehow.
Yes, but she’s likely to be interested in how it happened. Allowing the 11 year old Harry to keep it a secret towards her means to give up power to Harry.
Keep in mind that Amelia herself is a powerful witch, and thus “you are not meant to know” is kinda-sorta expected in those circles, and a most valid excuse for basically anything weird or unexplainable.

It depends on trusting the judgement of the other person. Otherwise it doesn’t seem like she trusts Harry.
