To the best of my knowledge, No.

US doesn't. Malaysia would. If Malaysia has outbound immigration, then the immigration officer could (and probably will!) notice a lack of US visa and question you, and her US passport will enter the picture.

Your daughter is a US Citizen regardless of what Malaysia says. Renouncing US citizenship is not a straightforward process (though I'm not sure how it applies to someone who's born American but also has claims to another citizenship!). You
could just never obtain a US passport for your daughter, but I can see that could make re-entry back into the US a touch tricky.
