I guess that scene is questionable. She may or may not be going for a kiss. In the anime, she probably will for sure, since the anime seems to like emphasizing that stuff more than the actual manga. In the actual manga, though, Mikasa has directly called Eren "family" in one of the first chapters, she referred to him as "family" again in her head when she was convinced Eren died before he transformed into a titan to get out of that one titan's stomach., her extra stat she got 10/10 for in an official guidebook is "Love For Family", and her thoughts about Eren in one of Isayama's official interviews from I believe last year is "Important Family", and it seems it's not that uncommon for family members to sometimes kiss, like when saying good-bye or good-night or something. Her responses to others in the franchise mistaking them like lovers are also mainly just plain expressions and rather vague in the manga compared to in the anime. Of course, that may turn out to change to something more later on. Right now though, family support is more important to both of them than romantic bonding.

Maybe we'll get 2 different endings, one for the manga (where they don't end up together, especially if everyone is going to die in the end anyways), and one for the anime (where maybe not everyone dies in the end, and they do end up together).
