As far as releasing it, if she is smart enough and doesn't commit the traveling violation, then it's nothing, play on

Hmmm, if the shooter's feet never left the ground then it's
going to take a lot more than a capped ball for me to
blow the whistle for a held ball.

So, if a player takes a set shot and the defender gets a hand on it and doesn't allow the ball to be released, what do you have? That's a held/jump ball in MHO.

Not in my opinion. What I have depends on what happens next.
I believe the rules are clear that a held ball should be
called only when both players have control and it's clear
neither player will gain sole control, except in the case of
an airborne shooter when the defender only has to prevent
release. No airborne shooter then the defender needs to not
only cap the ball, he has to grab it & not let go.
