If she were thrown out at 3rd by more than the few steps I judged the obstruction caused, she would be out.
This is wrong, as I stated to Manny.

Also if she stopped (or hesitated) at second on her way to third, I also would have no protection for her.
This is horrific. Worse than what Manny said or what you said above. You KNOW the baserunner's decisions changed because she was obstructed. Now you're penalizing her for a decision she wouldn't have even had to make had she not been obstructed. PLEASE don't think this way.
