Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. No, 1:100 is negative.
2. 1:160 or above usually indicates widal positive.
3. If she has no fever at present not to worry. If doubtful you can get a repeat widal and see if it is increased. At present you are negative for typhoid.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
