If the next batter was the leadoff hitter, then I think that Chasbo is indicating that the sub batted after the 9th batter. Coach probably had the lineup posted in the dugout; the sub saw herself on the sheet after the 9th batter, and she simply went up to bat.

The DP does not enter into the issue. Coach never said he was removing the DP, only removing the Flex. We can not assume anything more than what the coach told us.

Sure she does. The sub came in for the Flex who is permitted to bat for the DP.

As Tom said, this MAY be just an unreported sub. No assumption here, just need more information before offering an opinion/ruling/discussion on the question raised.
