No. You're not allowed to claim her earnings. They're hers, not yours.

If your daughter is under 19 years of age as of 12/31/2006, then you may be able to claim her as a dependent. You cannot claim her earnings if she worked for them. If they are investment earnings, then you may be able to report the earnings on your return.
I think you are thinking of the Kiddie Tax. This applies only to interest and dividends on investments for the kid. See Pub 17, Chapter 31. You would check there to see if it applies and file form 8614.

In the United States, not unless you are a home based business owner and you are claiming what you paid her as a tax write off.
Otherwise, no... She needs to file separately.

No, if you can claim her as an exemption, you'll just claim your earnings and she'll claim hers on her own return. You'll get the exemption for her, but she'll get her own standard deduction. There's a place on her return where she'll show she's a dependent.

She needs to take 0 deductions for members of household for her earnings, so you can claim her. But you can't count her earnings as yours...........

then again (and once AGAIN) it depends on how much the kid made. If under $5,130 (and more than likely she did make under this) the kid does NOT need to file.
