I rule this as batting out of order, brought to your attention by the offensive team (you said the [improper] batter told you that was only 2 pitches).

The proper batter should be brought to the plate with the existing count, which in this case is 4 balls and an awarded 1B. Since she is already on 1B, the following batter should bat with a new count. The (wrong) batter never went to 1B, so can't be appealed by the defense....especially since the offense brought it to your attention first.

You got this right, as far as I can tell. The out-of-order batter cannot be an illegal or unannounced sub, as she is already legally in the game. At most, she was batting out of order, and it seems you applied the right ruling.
