Is it worth it to carve out 3,4 hours of her day to go to a game? If so, are day games or night games better?

In the summer, doesn't totally matter - all three in this homestand will be packed. If bar hopping Wrigleyville is part of the experience for your group, run with Saturday night. Otherwise, 1:20 is great because bars open early, you'll get drunk in the stands, and be out at a good hour for anything at night.

What are the best places to sit?

Just grab GA tickets for bleachers and give yourself some flexibility of arriving early for seats closer to the vines or chilling on the Budweiser Deck. Personally, I go with the Budweiser Deck and get the flexibility of easily grabbing beers and watching a few pitches if I want.

Does Wrigley offer any good food / drink items or is it standard baseball fare?

It's fine - there are stations to run your hot dog through the garden, which is a nice touch.

Home Run Inn also does a solid enough job with their pizza inside the stadium.

Do they still offer the "Old Style" beer?

It's actually not at many concessions but is around.

Any good bars and restaurants around Wrigley

Plenty. Crawl up Clark for some wilder bars (i.e. Sluggers, Moe's, Old Crow) and Murphy's is a classic and across Sheffield from bleachers entrance. For something in-between that and chill, aim for Will's -> Sheffield's. You could even go a way more chill route and do Southport Corridor for food/beer at Corridor, drinks at Toons and a patio drink at Tuco and Blondie.
