Is she saying, "R-E-S-P-E-C-T. Take care, TCP"? If not, what is she saying? And if so, what does that mean?

Take care of . . . TCB
The last line is often misquoted as "Take out, TCP", or something similar, and indeed most published music sheets which include the lyrics have this incorrect line in them. The confusion seems to have arisen from the fact that the entire sequence was an ad-lib by Franklin, not present in Redding's original song. Thus, for that sequence, there were no official written lyrics to quote. As such, "Take out, TCP" likely simply represented someone's best guess as to the words being sung.
"TCB" is an abbreviation that was commonly in used in the 1960's and 1970's, meaning "Taking Care of Business", and it was particularly widely used in African-American culture. However, it was somewhat less well-known outside of that culture, yielding a possible explanation as to why it was not recognized by those who transcribed Franklin's words for music sheets.
