Hi there. It looks you're in a place with lots of available light. If that's the case, why add a flash? Natural light is probably in your wheelhouse, and this would work well with that. The flash is providing a nice shadow that outlines the chin well.
I'll address your questions. The hotspots are not created by the lights, bur rather by the reflective surface. Her makeup foundation is too shiny/reflective. It happens. And when it does, I clean it all up in post.
DOF is good by me, but you'll get 100 different responses from 100 photogs. Find your way.
Posing is okay, I'd just turn her left shoulder more toward the camera. There are literally hundreds of ways to go the posing.
Some people do a hair/rim light. If her hair was dark and the background was dark, then I'd definitely do it. In this scene, no need for it.
I"d clean her hair up, but I'd rather do it before I took the shot. And then just fix the hotspots, and you'll be in pretty good shape.
