Should I have waited and let the home team tell me that she was an unreported sub or was I within my rights to correct it when I noticed that she was the batter?

Not illegal, just unreported.
Fairly common to handle an unreported that way, but don't think it is in the rules anywhere.
Penalty if occurs is restriction to the bench along with the head coach.
Sorry, team warning and restricted on next offense.
