Does being under supernatural control exonerate Eve of any sin?
Eve was unjustly punished because she was under supernatural control in a set of circumstances that God himself set up by putting Satan in Eden.
God put Satan in Eden to insure that Eve ate and gave him the power to deceive Eve. She could not resist God's power directed through Satan and thus Eve had no choice but to eat of the tree of knowledge. She, like the snake, were under supernatural control and thus innocent of any wrong-doing.
Eve fails the criteria of mens rea, Latin for evil intent,a fundamental requirement of secular and biblical law, and thus Eve was innocent of any wrong-doing.
No human judge in his right mind would have judged A & E the way God did as God set the conditions that insured that A & E also died from neglect and the locking away of the tree of life. That was murder.

Did Eve have a free will while under supernatural control?

To be under control is to be without freewill. Without freewill, choices could not be made.
Commands would follow through.
And yet, you position Eve as having made a choice. Without freewill as your argument follows.
But all you accomplished was confusing whose commands were to be followed......Gods to Eve, or Satan's .
Since Satan is a God to you, I don't see how you or your logic comes out of your argument smelling like a rose.
It's your God ( Satan ) that's caused the misery.
God put Satan in Eden to insure that Eve ate and gave him the power to deceive Eve.
Is this according to gnostic scripture?
Please cite your reference.
Or was this somehow derived during your own ascension to Godhood ( apotheosis ) ?
She could not resist God's power directed through Satan...
More issues with logic.
You now seem to be claiming that, although God had dominion over Eve's choices and commanded her not to eat of the Tree of Knowledge, his dominion was superseded by the presence of Satan whom you now claim was given power granted by God that canceled God's original directive .
ie.....Satan had dominion over Eve whose freewill ceased to exist.
Then what was the reasoning for 'The Snake' to have to tempt Eve?
If Eve had no freewill, 'The Snake' would not have needed to tempt Eve.
Eve fails the criteria of mens rea, Latin for evil intent
No, it's Latin for 'guilty mind'.

And logically, a guilty mind requires the concept of freewill to exist otherwise there would be no sense of accomplishing wrong ( choosing wrong over right ).
No human judge in his right mind would have judged A & E the way God did as God set the conditions that insured that A & E also died from neglect and the locking away of the tree of life. That was murder.
Or perhaps it's just another lesson in the Bible that you've intentionally misinterpreted for your own purposes.
Did Eve have a free will while under supernatural control?
It's pretty obvious I've shown your argument makes no sense.
