If this is her 2nd (2.5 years) extention then she does not need life in the UK test. The test is only required for ILR & citizenship applications.

Yes.
If you are employed, 6 months payslips + 6 months corresponding bank statements proving income of £18,600 p.a (this can be joint earnings). The most recent must be no older than 28 days on the date of the application.

No. 6 month payslips doesn't apply when income is from self-employment.
See section 9 in this link:
https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... rement.pdf

9.3.2. For those employed as a director of a specified limited company in the UK, the relevant
financial year(s) will be that covered by the Company Tax Return CT600 and
corresponds to the 12-month accounting year of the company.
9.3.3. The evidence submitted must cover the relevant financial year(s) most recently ended. A
self-assessment tax return may include provisional figures, where the return explains
why this is so and how the figures were arrived at, and in which case a covering letter
explaining this and how any provisional figures tie in with other material submitted, e.g.
audited or unaudited accounts, may be helpful. This means that a sponsor wishing to
rely on earnings from self-employment as a sole trader, as a partner or in a franchise will
need to arrange to file their self assessment tax return to HMRC on a timescale geared
to meeting this requirement of the Immigration Rules rather than the deadline set for UK
tax purposes

Does your own salary and dividends combined reach the 18,600 threshold ?

It may be easier to use just your own information to fulfill the requirement as it would cut down on a lot of paperwork .
