On the 2nd, you seem to think it's important that there was no feint or effort to go to 2nd. It's not. She can do that... in fact she can simply go to 2nd if she wants. What she can't do, with the ball in the circle is A) stop and/or reverse direction more than one time, or B) stop for longer than "immediate", which most umpires take as about 1-2 seconds in this case.
On the 1st, she did nothing wrong. Safe, as AUS said.
