Just that really. Will it alter the result?

As I understand it would only be if she tests positive that she can’t have her vaccine and the odds are she won’t have the results by then.

I dont see how one will affect the other unless she tests positive and then the vaccine would need to be delayed

Yes she can. No it won't. The vaccine contains different proteins than those the tests test for.

Yes of course she can, the vaccine will not affect PCR results.

As others have said, there is no virus in the vaccine so you can't test positive from it.
