1. D&O policies are NOT standardized, so you'll have to check with a particular form. IN GENERAL, however, the policy only covers lawsuits related to your position as a director or officer AT YOUR CURRENT POSITION. So it's going to depend wildly on the exact wording of the suit. In any case, DEFENSE COSTS are the only thing covered - any JUDGEMENT is NOT going to be covered, if she's done something illegal on purpose.
2. lay out to your agent, EXACTLY what you're looking for. Again, it's not going to cover her PRIOR ACTS with a PREVIOUS EMPLOYER. The point is, to cover YOUR company, not to cover HER, or to cover her but only with respect to her position with YOUR COMPANY.
3. Usually with D&O, defense costs are INSIDE THE LIMIT, and you have to use the insurance company's attorney. You have to put the company on notice, even BEFORE there is a claim. And on the application, there's a question: Are you aware of anything that could potentially result in a claim? And that's a really important question to answer, that would void coverage if you lie.
