The #2 still does not apply to DD as far as I know, usa(asa).
I ask DD to get her shoulders behind the plate, with a step back I think I would ask her to get shoulders at back foot.

I think you're referring to the load. It can be as individual as her hair style. All that really matters is that there is a negative move leading the explosion.... picture a boxer punching without any negative arm move...its called a jab. No damage, and is primarily used as a set up punch. But when he's looking to land solid, there will be a draw back and launch.
Pitching, hitting, and throwing are no different.
A pitchers negative move in her arm needs to happen as her body is driving forward, creating what we call "overlap."
Some variations of this are called single pump, double pump, hide the ball, rock the baby etc.... all are ok, however some have more/different advantages than others.

You could start with something similar this.
I like a lot about this example, minus the gym step and step off.... otherwise pretty good driveYou could start with something similar this.

Very good overlap here. The gym step could be worked into a slide.
