There is no difference between racism and ethnic discrimination - they are synonymous. The old lady is obviously xenophobic. Displaying hostility/contempt/fear/hatred for someone based on their language/culture/ethnicity is very much ethnic discrimination (aka racism).
"Racism and racial discrimination are often used to describe discrimination on an ethnic or cultural basis, independent of whether these differences are described as racial. According to the United Nations convention, there is no distinction between the terms racial discrimination and ethnic discrimination"
Also, race is nothing more than a social construct to begin with. "Today, most biologists, anthropologists, and sociologists reject a taxonomy of races in favor of more specific and/or empirically verifiable criteria, such as geography, ethnicity, or a history of endogamy."

its not racism to be hostile towards a person that chooses to not use the native language of the country they life in...

The action isn't necessarily racist, but a lot of people who behave that way are racist.
Despite that, why is it the old lady's duty to tell other people how to be or what to do? Why be hostile at all? She has all the right to be offended, and even to offend, but that doesn't make her any less of a witch with a capital b. I wish more people just minded their business some times.
