The first issue- check the range on the box, it should tell you. And make sure you enable the security features on any cards and ports you do buy.
The second- hah. Good luck, because the only surefire route is to watch while she's using it. Filters are worth exactly jack; they do block some things, but not others. (incidently, most block the sites mentioning that a filter isn't perfect..)
