Patch notes, yes she yoinks apples(also your key) if you have one in hand, means apples are all useful and not just there to occupy tummy space/make her belly slightly less likely to kill you which is barely noticeable if she's lucky,  which was all they did before. While it kinda does trivialise the current game it probably won't be enough once the other preds are added.

Most likely the other student did not completely block her from grabbing you  because she was at an angle so you were grabbed but since you had an apple, it was taken.

I can not say for certain since I did not test this update as much as I would like to.
