Call the airline. They should be able to find your reservation by your name and travel dates. Usually your name and specific flight and date are needed. In my experience, the city pair should be sufficient, unless your name is very common.
Many airlines will also show your confirmation number on the screen just after you've booked, even before an email is sent, and the code will also be on your boarding pass once you've checked in. If you have any trouble finding it, call the airline.
Not usually necessary, no - though never does any harm to have it. May depend on airline, though. Again, depending on airline, you may be expected to check in online and print off a boarding card, or pay at the airport for check-in. Who are you flying with?
After purchasing your ticket online, download the file and print your ticket. Passengers can find their e-ticket files in the email sent to them. For domestic flights, passengers do not have to show their e-tickets at the security checkpoints.

Depending on the requirements of airport authorities, you will need to present a mobile boarding pass, a paper boarding pass printed out by you or a paper boarding pass picked up from the check-in desk.
Online check-in lets you check in from your home or office and print your own boarding pass. You can also choose to have a link to your boarding pass emailed to your mobile device.

Anyone with the confirmation number can check her in -- if she has a computer or a smartphone she can do it. If you do, you can email her a pdf of the boarding pass, or if it's easier she can just print one at the airport kiosk -- her boarding position will already be reserved from when you checked her in.
