Question: When she gets the VISA in hand, is there a time limit to when she has to come to USA? I know that she has to either marry or leave in 90 days once she is here, but what about before she gets here?

Normally, visa expiration is connected to the medical date with a six month  window to arrive on US soil. BUT, the true expiration that one has to be concerned with is what is contained within the visa itself. That date, contained within the visa,  can be different from the medical date. Different situations dictate this anomaly.
