Yes, she does. Insurance is based on several factors, one of them being the location of the car and the inherent risk.

She should contact her insurance company, to be sure. On at least a temporary basis, she’ll be covered (CA law requires a minimum Liability insurance).
Much of the time, your insurance costs are based on how far you drive to work, how many accidents happen annually in the area around you, etc. If she doesn’t register her new info with the insurance company, she’s likely to end up having trouble with them, as opposed to the state. They may not cover her here in CA if she doesn’t update her records.
It should be a simple matter of updating the existing policy.

It depends on California’s state laws, have her talk to the local DMV to confirm. Or she can call her auto insurance agent who can direct her in the next steps.

Yes, you have to have it insured in the state you live in.

Yes. Her coverage and premiums depend on what state she lives in, among other things.

SHE WILL NEED TO GET NEW INSURANCE FROM CALIFORNIA SINCE THIS WILL BE HER PERMANENT ADDRESS.
