I am wondering two things:

Should a GAI have been derived/what would it be?
As she reached the ceiling in two of the subtests and 18 on two others, could a higher IQ have been extrapolated?...

Yes, her GAI should have been calculated and it would be 151 and, yes, her GAI and FSIQ both might come out higher depending on how high the scores were that fed into those 18s and 19s. My dd12's profile looked similar but with all of the scores somewhat lower (high on the same three just not as high as your dd's and lower on PSI -- lower than your dd's). Like your dd, my dd's FSIQ and GAI only differed by a few points b/c the WMI was also similarly high to PRI and VCI.

eta: With your dd's scores, I'd definitely look into applying to DYS!
