#2What are they charging them with. It's just a perfectly ordinary for loop. Here is the code:
for ( ; ; ) { window.alert(" ∧_∧ ババババ\n（ ・ω・)=つ≡つ\n（っ ≡つ=つ\n`/ )\n(ノΠＵ\n何回閉じても無駄ですよ～ww\nm9（＾Д＾）プギャー！！\n byソル (@0_Infinity_)") }
Apart from it being an explicit do forever loop it looks a lot like a lot of the code that I write for a living: Do something, wait for it to complete, do it again, keep doing it until the end of the shift when the program gets shut down.

on an early 1980s computer in a shop. Didn't every teenager do that at that time? I was too old by then and built my own but I understand the temptation.

The section of the Japanese criminal code concerning viruses is extremely broad and basically appears to encompass any unauthorized computer code that causes computers to stop functioning according to users' wishes, so this is probably the crime she's being charged with ("Creation of Electromagnetic Records with Wrongful Instructions, etc.").
