The tricky part is this is not an ordinary offer. It's coming as a recommendation from a friend on behalf of her sister. So if they got to an agreeable offer and she slighted the sister it comes off looking a little as if "thanks for your time but I used you". Remember this employee also works there.

If it weren't for the personal connection this isn't that fuzzy. There are other factors that make keeping the current job ideal, but the disrespect is getting to her as well.

I think current owner would match. I'm more worried it looks as if she is using a personal connection and their time for a raise when in reality she is seriously considering and excited at the new job at the right price. I also think the owner could take it out on her family member if she doesn't give the opportunity to match at all as she's a tether to his job due to importance.

It's not tricky. I go where the $$ is, it's up to my direct supervisors to recognize the work I'm doing, or in your case, keep an agreement that was in place for more $$. If they don't, they can suck a fat one and I'll move on to a better gig.

This situation is entirely fricked up now. An employee of her current company is helping a competitor recruit from her own company, essentially. I think this family person at your GF's current company has mostly fricked herself if that's the case. That situation is way more screwed up, and your GF could find herself without a job if she took the new job, the sister at her old company gets fired for recruiting, then the sister at the new company fires your GF out of spite
