Honestly, it is completely unreasonable for the landlord to expect you to live with this. The situation creates risk around the clock. Risk to your person (especially when sleeping), your belongings, and your sense of security. I don't know where you are, but in my state there are very specific laws about how many/what types of locks must be on entry doors. Violation of these laws is actually considered justification for terminating the lease (in my state). Please look into your local rental laws. I know it can be uncomfortable pushing for your rights with a landlord, but this one is important. If she is unwilling to fix something so obviously inconvenient/dangerous, what will she do when the roof starts leaking or the heat stops working?
That being said, these exist. They are a minimal solution. However, as you seem to have an unreasonable landlord, I would caution you not to drill any holes yourself. You do not want to be on the hook for a botched job or a hole on the exterior of the door if/when she gets around to reversing it. Good luck OP, I hope you can get this worked out.
Yep, they can be removed. If you're strong, you lift the door up and out.
One way to prevent this is pin locks https://www.amazon.com/55201-Window-Guard-Sliding-Windows/dp/B0036UFTVQ/ref=asc_df_B0036UFTVQ/
