If she didn't leave the house how could she steal anything? It'd all still be inside...


If you take an object and put it in your pocket (or purse), you can be arrested in a store. You don't need to physically leave the store. Same would go for homes.
No you can't, actually. You have to wait until that person walks out the door before you can arrest him.

No you don't. Just have to prove intent.
Let me just quote your last paragraph there.

Many clerks and security personnel will not, however, apprehend a suspected thief until that person has actually left the store. The reason is not that they lack justification before that moment, as just explained. Instead, they simply want an open-and-shut case. It will be difficult to argue that one intended to pay for the goods when one has walked out without doing so; on the other hand, defendants who are apprehended pre-exit may be able to convince the jury that their actions were consistent with an intent to eventually pay for the merchandise before leaving the store.
And as soon as they get away with it you are liable for a 'false' arrest, since you just proved they didn't do anything wrong in court. You want proof? Wait until they're out the door.

You can't be charged with false arrest if your actions can be justified. It can be difficult to prove theft prior to exiting, yes, but it's possible to do so. Back when I was a police officer, one of the first people I arrested was a shoplifter at Target and we arrested them in the store. He was about to leave and that's when we stopped him, hence proof of intent.
