depends on to what extent the student body at the time knew or believed that the ministry was possibly collaborating with the death eaters. Was betraying them to umbridge her going to a strict school disciplinarian and telling on an unofficial club, or was it her going to a wizard Nazi and telling her where the resistance fighters were training?

The Ministry was not collaborating with the Death Eaters at this time. Umbridge was just a huge bitch.

I'm pretty sure that was the extent of Marietta's involvement. She thought they'd get expelled for running an unnofficial club. Her mom worked at the Ministry, directly with Umbridge, and she was afraid she'd lose her job. She didn't think they'd get Crucio'd because that's, y'know, insane. They wouldn't have been sent to Azkaban.
