My Question: Does temporary work count as well? Is there a minimum wage she needs to get?
Yes - temporary work counts and technically there's no minimum threshold, so long as it is not what the HO call "marginal or supplementary" work.
With reference to the criteria for qualified persons - look at p.11-12 of the internal HO guidance document for HO staff:

Workers
"A worker is an EEA national who is exercising their free movement rights in the UK by working in paid employment on a full-time or part-time basis."
"Assessing whether the EEA national is a worker
While there is no minimum amount of hours which an EEA national must be employed for in order to qualify as a worker, the employment must be genuine and effective and not marginal or supplementary.
[...]
Marginal means the work involves so little time and money that it is unrelated to the lifestyle of the worker. It is supplementary because the worker is clearly spending most of their time on something else, not work."

Second question: If We both got Comprehensive sick insurance and I was working and she was not but I was supporting her would that also count as her exercising her economic rights?
Yes - in that case, she would exercising her treaty rights not as a worker, but as a self-sufficient person. At the moment, self-sufficient persons and their partners need CSI.
But when Settled Status comes into place in March, it looks like CSI will not be a requirement.
