In addition, she doesn't have any 3rd level or 1st level spells prepared at all; is that intentional?
Second Edition NPC stat blocks don't include everything an equivalent PC would have. This is most obvious with spells; even if the slots had been filled with combat-relevant spells, would the combat really last long enough that she'd start needing to use 1st and 3rd level spells? Probably not, so they can be omitted from the stat block. If it weirds you out that she doesn't have any 1st and 3rd level slots prepared, you can assume she either already cast those spells that day, or that she prepared spells that aren't relevant to fighting the PCs (e.g. Create Water, Purify Food and Drink, or an Alarm she's planning on casting before going to sleep)

I figured it might be deliberate, but she also has a *ton* of prepped 4th level spells: 7 in total, all of which have been heightened from previous levels. It would be a reasonable editing mistake to mislabel some 3rd level spells as 4th level spells, for example.

Really, it only weirds me out that there's no label that says "3rd: none" to make things clear. The "Summon Monster" spell is the much bigger question. Pending an answer from our good friend Dinosaur Director, I'll follow Tarot's suggestion of giving her a 4th level Summon Fiend spell.

Also, she has Fear prepared as a level 4 spell when that spell can only be heightened to a 3rd level spell.
