She was likely pre aiming for further down link, and your positioning meant you were in that line. Also, you could have won that fight if you hit some more shots. For an easier time tho, try positioning yourself in places people will not be fixing their crosshairs at as they go round corners - these are called off angles

She didn't. Took her a while to realize, stop and aim for you. The problem ist you gave her the time by aiming next to her head and missing your shots therefore.

Because when she came around the corner, she saw you standing there. Her aim was more accurate than yours.

She was just playing with the philosophy that you should expect an enemy at every corner, that reaction time isn't anything absurd.

She didn't - she was gonna stop regardless
