1. Yes, if IRCC will allow her to claim the time spent with you outside of Canada towards the residency obligation. You should try this first.
2. Only possible if she formally renounces her PR status first.
3. See above.

If IRCC will allow her to claim the time spent with you outside of Canada towards the residency obligation. You should try this first - What is the chances of IRCC accepting her claim that she was staying in India from 2013 to 2024 ? What is the time frame and costs to apply?
Spousal visa - What is the time frame and costs to apply? Do I have to live in Canada during the spousal application process? How long will it take for her to re-apply for PR after she enters canada?

No, you don't have to move back to Canada and apply. No one here can tell you the chances. She need to try it first. You should contact the VAC or nearest Canadian consulate for the processing time and fee. Details should be on their website too.

She needs to apply for a PRTD based on accompanying a Canadian citizen abroad and see if that is approved. That would be the first step. Normally would recommend trying to enter by land through the US but as a senior the ability to secure a health card needs to be considered.
