1.She will need to apply for a new passport.
2. Its good that she hasnt applied for H4 yet. After she gets her new passport she will be issued a H4 visa with the same name as in her new passport. The procedure is same, just apply for a new H4 visa.
Yes its possible to do it from US but I dont know of anyone who has done it from US.
In my case we stuck to her maiden name as its too much of a hassle to apply for passport then a visa.

i didnt care much for her name change and i gave a copy of my file to her along with my marriage certificate and H1 approval. it took consulate 3 days to give her back the passport with the visa in it. (of course the consulate was in EU and she is an EU national so your home country consulate may take longer to process the application for security reasons)

No, you have to apply for the new passport.
As far as my views go, its not worth the effort and risk (read BIG risk) of restamping for a name change. She might as well retain her maiden name - its really a very trivial thing.
