No. "Go off" is one-sided. It means to scold with great anger.

1. Is there a more standard way of expressing this:

"We have to clean the kitchen before Sally returns, or she she will GO OFF on us."

2. Does 'bicker with us' work instead of saying 'go off on us'?

'bicker' doesn't work. See the previous answer.

You can say she'll get angry or (stronger) she'll be furious.

Also, she'll make a scene, she'll have a fit, she'll hit the ceiling, she'll have kittens, she'll have a kitten, she'll have a cow, she'll read us the riot act, the feathers will fly, the fur will fly, (the) sparks will fly.
