RaNa has superbly answered all questions, here are my 2 cents worth. An officer can always ask your H-4 spouse on what her future plans are. It is strange to assume she will do a B.Tech (or something else) in India just to stay at home in the US. Most H-4 spouses are highly educated. The correct answer is - I might study further while my husband completes his project. Now for your questions

  1. Student

  2. Yes and specify dates when education ended or will end (training is not part of what they are asking)

  3. No, visa is not affected but officers must understand she will complete her education before travel and not abandon it

Wish you both the very best
