If a Queen of a country marries an Emperor and the Queen's country remains ruled solely by the Queen and the queen is granted no authority over the empire, would she be referred to as Queen or Empress consort ?

It would depend on which country she was in. In either case, her full title would have both "queen" and "empress consort", but which one was mentioned first would change.
And if she was in neither her own country or that of the emperor, then it would depend on the diplomatic protocol in effect in that other country.
Countries have precedence in the world, so if her country was of higher rank than the emperor's, then her title would be "queen" first, and "empress consort" late in the list.
If his country was of higher rank, then that would reverse.
See, for instance, all the different ways that Queen Elizabeth II is titled, depending on which country she is in

It would also depend on the role in which she acts during the visit to a third country and their diplomatic relations with both - is that diplomatic visit as the Queen of her own country? Is she visiting together with her husband? Is it an official visit in all her capacities? Private one?

Yeah, all that.
