Good for you!
I like #1 a lot. I'm surprised she doesn't do this. My therapists have been maddeningly good at making me sweat through the silences.
I think she may have a problem with #3, but the two of you can use your "rule" as a place to start talking about it.
Be patient with yourself in expecting to react in session to things. In the beginning you might need to write down how you are feeling afterwards, and then read it at your next session. I agree that holding things until you are face to face could be important (if you can hold them that long!!).
And yes, I would be really surprised if she wouldn't see you again.
Best of luck, and let us know how it goes.
