1. That is why it seems typical to negotiate an hourly rate rather than a flat one. They didn't seem to do that here.
2. Not if the contract stipulates that she'll be paid a flat-rate regardless of how many hours it takes. As long as they are abiding by the minimum wage laws in the country she resides in, that probably won't be legally tenuous.
3. I am not sure what you are asking here. Since most American VA's seem to be part of the SAG-AFTRA the union de-facto sets industry standards (given that most English-speaking VA's are working in the U.S) but that doesn't mean they set rates by law, and certainly doesn't mean it sets rates by law in a country that the union's membership doesn't reside in. The sleazy part here is the aim of a multi-million dollar company which is being bankrolled by a billion dollar company to get cheap labor that has already proven itself to be excellent at the job and then lying about why that person didn't take the job.

Well you act like this is a unique case. This happens to pretty much all voice actors. If they want more, then they need to negotiate and ask for help from whatever union their in. Helena did negotiate and PG came back with what they think she was worth. She believed she was worth more and didnt take the offer. Now she made 0 dollars and broke her NDA. I dont blame her for being insulted by the offer, but thats just something voice actors have to live with until they can negotiate better deals.

One of the things we've seen on twitter are VA's taking Hellena's side about how the pay is trash and how pay for VA's is trash in general. The problem is that it isn't a unique case. What is your position on Platinum Games lying?
