Based on the provided text, was Anna actually trying to kiss Mavshibai, or was he falsely accused?

The text clearly indicates that Anna was falsely accused. Chapter 24 details that Anna was leaning forward to press Sai Baba's left hand while Mavshibai was vigorously pressing Baba's stomach. Due to her swaying motions while being engrossed in service, her face came close to Anna's. It was Mavshibai who then jokingly but pointedly said, "Have you no shame for your gray hair? You are trying to kiss me!" Anna's angry reaction, where he states, "You yourself put your face to my face and are ready to quarrel with me," confirms that he viewed it as a baseless and provocative accusation.
