Violin is a tough instrument! Some of the things you describe just take time to get over, and you just need to be dedicated to get through them.
For the bow issues a bow right can be very useful as it helps train correct bow positioning while letting the player focus on other aspects of their posture and technique. My teacher had me using one for quite a few years when I was younger until my bow straightened out.
As others have mentioned, an hour and a half is quite a lot of music at 11, and two separate instruments every day makes it feel even longer! I'd think about just practicing a single instrument each day and alternating, and maybe cutting the practice time down to an hour or an hour and 15 if she's still tired out. In my experience that makes it a lot easier to focus and works different muscles, so your hands/arms don't get tired as quickly.
Also, one of the big things that kept me playing when I was younger was a fantastic youth string ensemble I played in. A big part of the Suzuki program is the shared repertoire and ability to easily play in groups, so I'd highly encourage you to talk to her teacher and look around your area to see if there's anything appropriate for her level. The group I was in had kids playing some of the simple songs as early as 4-5 years old, and we did a whole variety of pieces with parts appropriate for players anywhere from early book 1 to book 9 and 10 - so there was no need for auditions or anything.
