Yes, that is normal. Airlines will not change the reservations made through third parties.

Well, at the day of departure (not sure the cut-off) the flight/ticket will go under airport control and Brussels Airline could change the ticket - but they won't. At least not without significant costs.... you are asking for a re-booking a day before the departure which means they will probably try to put her in full-fare Y which will be really expensive.

You can try, but I guess it won't work.

0. If she doesn't board the outbound the rest of the ticket will be cancelled. Also, consider that usually buying a round trip is much cheaper than a one way.

Assuming there is something really urgent which prevents her from taking the trip tomorrow, I would check with my trip insurance. Hoping you have one?
