You missed the first one. On a walk, the batter becomes a batter-runner, and is entitled to all of the same rights as one who becomes a batter-runner by hitting the ball. The only difference is that the one who walks cannot be put out on the way to first base.

That means she can overrun first base, just like everyone else. This is true in ASA, NFHS, and NCAA. It may not be true in Little League; I seem to recall a different interpretation from when I did LL baseball about 20 years ago (or, it may have been a myth I was told to be a rule then).
