1) They should leave the H4 visa intact
2) She needs to be sure that the officer admits her in the proper
classication at the port of entry. She shouldn't leave the airport
inspection area without making certain her I-94 says L1.
3) If admitted as an H4, she will not be an H4. She's not an H4
right now because she's not in the US. She currently has a
permit(visa) to seek entry as an H4. You can only be admitted
in one nonimmigrant classification at a time. She will be no
longer be an H4.
4) She'd have to change status to an H4 if she stops working as an L1,
her job title/description/employer changes. Going back to an H4
requires paperwork and approval from immigration. She change back
to an H4 by mail, or by departing the country and coming back with a
valid H4 visa and evidence of your H1 status/petition.
