When Mary found her Son in the temple, and Jesus said to His mother that He must be about His Father’s business, wasn’t Jesus speaking to His mother as God?

Indeed. Jesus had two roles to play. He had a human nature with family ties and a Divine One with Heavenly Ties.

Jesus had two roles to play.

And Mary was the mother of the person that played both of those roles. Not the mother of the eternal Godhead, but the mother of God in the person of Jesus. This does not make Mary greater than God in any way, shape, or form. It just recognizes that God, while He was with us, was a human being in every way but sin. This includes being the son of a woman.
