I'm assuming the scanner is literally just to open to door so no issues scanning my pass and us both proceeding through?
That's right yes - you can use your boarding pass to open the door and your companion can follow you in. The VS staff do watch for interlopers and tailgaters though so you may want to come armed with her boarding pass to confirm that she is travelling with you.
