I wouldn't worry about the plug. If she can take it to a decent tire place and have them patch it, she should.
As for Walmart....I don't know what I can say about their tire SALESMEN. The last time I had anything to do with that part of a Walmart was several years ago when my wife had a situation very similar to your daughters. The tire was supposedly under warranty, but they wouldn't honor it due to a 'defect' in the tire. They offered to sell her a new tire and charge a lower price because of the 'warranty'. She called me to ask what she should do. After I came down off the ceiling and took some blood-pressure medicine(!), I told her to just have them put some air in it and go around the corner to another tire store and have them repair it. Get this, the walmart guy was hesitant about putting air in it because of 'liability'! I'm glad I was on the phone and not there in person as I probably would have wrung his neck. Well, he finally let her air the tire up herself. She went around the corner to the other (locally owned) tire place and twenty minutes later she was back on the road. That tire lasted us just fine until we sold that vehicle about a year later. Since that day the only time I've been in their tire center was as a shortcut to the backside of their store.
I could go on, but then it would slip off topic!
I hope it works out well for her and you, but I don't think you have much to worry about.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
