1. She will be friendly.
2. She will raise the dead you have buried if she sees their corpses.
3. She will raise any valid corpses she finds.
4. The corpses will not bother her, though they will be slightly less unfriendly to your Dwarfs (limb tearingly unfriendly).
5. No

Park her in a tower overlooking the front of your base, watch her raise goblins. OR raise zombies in a closed area and unleash them as a final resort to a siege NOWAIT raise an army then fight the clown car with it. This is clearly the best idea.

Even better, have your queen necromancer emigrate to your fort in an evil region with thrall/husk/zombifying mist, raise the minions and then make them into thralls. Thrall/husk/mist zombie armies are often STRONGER than the clown car.

Oh, you poor legendary weaponsmith. Someone just drank all your blood :(. Do not worry, I'll help you, you will rise again!
Oh, you poor legendary cook. The legendary weapon smith zombie just ripped your arm off :(. Do not worry, I'll help you, your arm will rise again to help you!
Oh, you poor legendary cook. Your zombie arm just choked you to death :(. Do not worry, I'll help you, you will rise again!
...
Hey, why is my mountainhomes such a mess? I am not able to rise dwarves in time! What is going on here?
...
I am the only one left? oh, time to re-build this mountainhomes into a tower :).

Regarding clown fighting - it could be a good challenge to herd those two armies into a fight.
