As for Yennefer being a villain, nope. She is Geralt's love and honestly, a very lovable person.
"a five-pointed star that is formed by drawing a continuous line in five straight segments, often used as a mystic and magical symbol."
It doesn't have connection to Satan other than people just connected it to him in the modern era. Read up on Wikipedia.
Similar to the Nazi's Swastika which they took from some culture, which infact symbolizes energy if I recall correctly.
Not actually a symbol tied with Satanism until about the 1900's.
It is true that in modern time a group of people who consider themselves Good through and through while also practicing non-Christian traditions, under one named Wicca (but often believed to be of druidc heritage though there are absolutely no evidence to back this belief up). Some Wiccans even believe they can call themsevels Christian while also being Witchers, and this is accepted in some, more novelty friendly areas.
San Francisco, for example, is one of the most free and open minded cities when it comes to non-Christian and untraditional practices, and this city is therefore sought by MANY people who originally grew up in area such as what we call the Bible Belt (the modern mid West) or from small towns of very conservative orientation in general.
Personally I take great comfort in the knowledge that places like F.ex. San Francisco exist. It gives the human race hope - and it also give me hope personally, since I aim to leave one of the most narrow minded, progressively and freedom wise backwards countries that exist in our time (and this even right in the midst of the Western part of the world).

The real meaning of the Pentagram:
When it isn't iinverted, it symbolizes magic or a state of mind that aims to semd as much of their own and the world's spiritual matter back to the Transcendental Planes of Reality.
Whilethe Pntagram, is worn or used in an "inversed"[1*] position. it means the person is practicing magic or honing a state of mind that aims to draw spiritual matter, psychological energy. knowledge, and so on, to themselves or to the world in general.
.........
But before I forget to answer your question altogether: Yes, Triss' Pentagram is in the Spirit drawin/inviting position, as you call Satanistic because it is inverted.
_________________________________________
[1*] - There really isn't any 'right' nor 'inversed' position of the pentagram. It's a tool, and you can see from my description that both have their uses and will generally be esily justified.
If you wear a pentagram "iverted", f.ex., the reason can merely be that you wish to maintain a mental state of prayer or meditative growth or elevation. Magically it is associated with study and gaining knowledge, but also - strictly magically speaking - of showing the Angels or Daimons of the Transcendental Reality that you wish to interact with them (traditionally you will be wanting to learn from them; "binding entities" and such practices are, and were, almost non-existent, though such attempts did occur, usually with devastating results..
It isn't easy to 'bind' someone who's far less "stuck" in material matter, form, color, and strictly governed by time, the way that human beings are. So you can see why trying to 'bind' another being of transcendetal origin and characteristica has never been a common or widely occuring practice; it's been more like one of the tales we today tell our children to make them follow our directions and not wander off during nightime, and so on,
Evil in what way?Satanists, can be nice but usually how people act in Public doesn't reflect the person they are, anyone can act nice and friendly, but in their mind they think of evil things, We have all seen this stuff happen many times, some really nice friendly guy to people around him gets caught being a murderer,rapist,pedophile,evil, almost every person in one of these catagories acts like a nice friendly person in society but we really don't know what they are or what they thinking in their mind.
Most smart people around have already told the truth about the pentagram, so I will only add a little bit.
Symbols are what you make of them.
By itself, a symbol is nothing but a scrabble, a statue, a figure in the air or a carved piece of wood or stone. It is the brain and the culture it was raised in that gives the symbol it's significance. They are all neutral, like the letters of the alphabet. With those letters you can compose poetry or write a murderous threat. Copy the bible or sign a death sentence. Or things as simple and neutral as writing your own name or interpreting traffic.
Someone previously mentioned the swastika. It used to be a beautiful, positive symbol for the Hindu people (and indeed it still is). For the westerners, it means such a tragic, terrible and bitter memory that it is even forbidden in many countries. Is that squiggle bad?
The answer you can tell by yourself, but just as the swastika is not Hitler or the Nazis, the cross is NOT a deity and the pentagram is not satanic.
...unless of course, it is so in your mind. And in that case, there's nothing to argue about :)
