100% not MS Paint or Paint.net...

Tell her to download Adobe XD, it's free right now and that's the standard in the industry.

#3, I wouldn't call that dragdrop but at this point, it'd make more sense for her to learn a vector program for the things that Adobe XD can't do. That would require Illustrator and would be a better use of her time.

For #4 you will have to have a good understanding of HTML to be able to do anything with CSS- that has to be the foundation before she learns CSS.

There isn't really a standard at the moment in my opinion, though from personal experience Sketch + InVision are the most commonly used. Figma is picking up a lot of interest. I've never seen a UI designer use Adobe XD.

Skills learnt in one tool should be fairly transferable, so it doesn't matter too much. Just don't use photoshop.
