No
Depends on whether you and your daughter are either fully vaccinated, unvaccinated, or partially vaccinated. I suspect that for her to be able to return in a flight from Spain, she must have tested negative for COVID 19 to be allowed on the flight. Whilst this is not absolute proof that she has not acquired a COVID infection, it’s at least reassuring. If both of you are fully vaccinated with either the Pfizer or the Moderna and she tested negative for COVID 19 recently, there may not be a need for quarantine.

Yes. You do not if she was exposed and does not have symptoms.
If she is symptomatic yes and if you are at risk then isolate till the quarantine is over.
In an abundance of caution I would do so.
