Why would this involve Quimley? There are lots of things living down there. I assume the Generous Ones will know what to do about this creature. Send it to the Lands Beyond or something. And anyway, it seems to only be after Alexandra. It didn't attack anyone else in all the months it was tracking her. Well, except for Larry at the end, but that's because he was with her. There is no reason to think the creature would go on a random killing spree once it gets to the Lands Below. Maybe it's from there originally anyway and will just go back to its tribe.
You're right, there's no guarantee. Still, the story and the information available leads us and Alexandra to believe that, if she's succeeded, Nemesis/Gift's new target is the Generous Ones. They seem pretty adept at weird and bone-y magic, so maybe it won't be more than a nuisance... I just don't like thinking Alex has caused trouble for someone who did so much for her.
Also, is there really any doubt JM created the nemesis?
Oh, I'm sure she was trying to at least annoy the Generous Ones. She didn't just see it as an 'easy' way to dispose of the nemesis. As to whether John created the Nemesis from bits and pieces like Frankenstein's monster, or summoned it from some other realm and placed a geas on it to do his bidding, I don't think is ever made clear, is it? Not that it really makes a difference at this point.
Maybe it was following Alexandra's scent which led it into the old factory, and Martha tried to fight it and it fought back. Still doesn't mean that it will automatically attack everything that it comes across in the Lands Below. Although if Alexandra's scent/trail is still present there, that will lead it straight to the Generous Ones, haha!

Um, what about Quimley?
I guess it would be in character for Alex to forget all about that, though. I just hope he doesn't get hurt because of her plan, necessary as it was.
