I wouldn't be surprised if Daenerys never makes it to Westeros, either because she decides to stay in Essos or because she dies there.

As to her going mad, it could happen. Remember how her father the Mad King began his reign "full of promise", then went insane in his late 20's/early 30's. She could still go down that path, you never know. Her habit of burning people just like her dear old dad loved to do is a bit worrying, if you ask me.
