That is correct when you are felon you cannot even cross from the United States to Canada. So no, no passport for her.

it depends on the terms of the probation or parole if there is a prohibition from leaving the country. there are no questions on criminal activity on the application and the final decision is up to the State Department. also, some countries have restrictions on felons entering - check with the embassy or consulate of the country in question.

That is not correct, you can get a password if you have a past criminal record.
Some countries will require Visas for you to visit them, in that case the country you are visiting might deny the visa because of a privious conviction.
But to most countries where no visa is required your friend will be fine.
