Mom - you not only got great advice for your daughter; you did a public service for all women traveling metro. I never thought about being trapped sitting near a window; now I will definitely reconsider where I sit.
Best advice I can give your daughter is that she has no obligation EVER to be nice. She needs to do whatever is necessary to be safe. And that includes refusing to engage in conversation with someone, walking away, calling the police, or shouting for help.
I am so sorry this happened to her. I am so awed by your approach.
