I'm so old, I can tell you what happened because I was there. Mary was in the kitchen with me, chopping dates for lunch, when there was all this noise upstairs. She wanted to go see what was going on, but I said, wait a minute, you can take some of the dishes up with you. So I finished the pita bread and I told Mary to get some of the nice gifilte fish to go with it, and then we couldn't find the onions.
Anyway, by the time we got lunch for the Apostles organized and carried up to them, they had pretty much quieted down, and were all having this intense conversation.
They asked us to leave them alone so they could think about something that had just occured to them, but they took the lunch trays first.
Anyway, that's how I remember it.

In all likelyhood, yes. After all, she was a faithful follower of Christ who stuck with him through thick and thin. She followed him from capture to the bottom of his cross even though in those days she could have been crucified herself for it (as a seditionist against Rome). So she literally put her life in danger by being at his crucifixion. His Mother Mary at least had a reason for being there as his family, although that too was against the law. She was the first to see him after his resurrection and there's no reason to believe she wasn't faithful until the end of her life. So I would say yes, most likely she was there celebrating the Pentecost and receiving the Holy Spirit.
You must realize (read the New Testament) that MOST Christians at the time were actually women, at least I would say 60-70%. They had family and friends who followed them and respected them and when they invited Christ and his followers (apostles and other people who followed him to hear his preachings) into their homes, their loved ones didn't complain (usually, although, like all humans I'm sure some did). However, Christ built early christianity on the backs of women in many ways, many would sell extra land and give it to the brothers to go out into the world to do the teaching work, build synogogues and temples (no churches yet, the break with the identification with Judaism wasn't that comlete yet). Women were even told to go out and talk to their neighbors and strangers about Gods works and to invite them to learn about what was in store for them, to minister to them. Trust me, females were very responsible for Christianity's early survival and were accepted and loved for their help in the early church.

Maybe. But the Aposltes never really liked her, so they began a tradition in the Church that has held for thousands of years... lie and slander.
