The US almost certainly already has OP's name and a record of her entry (which she can see for herself at i94.cbp.dhs.gov), and of course there will be no matched exit record until she leaves.

You can just buy a ticket home and leave the USA. No need for help with that.
But you will not be able to get back into the USA. Almost everybody who overstayed can not use the 'no visa' option anymore nor get a normal visitors visa. Your embassy can also not help you there, you broke the rules, you suffer.

This. No one will check your immigration status, you only show your passport as ID for TSA so you wont have any trouble at the airport, you will have problems visiting the USA in the future, you may get a ban, you definitely will never be able to have an ESTA again, if you don't have a ban you'll have to apply for a visa. You could have problems getting visas and e-visas for other countries too, they often ask if you have ever overstayed in a country.

"you will not be able to get back into the USA": this overstates the situation. She'll need a visa to return to the USA. The visa may be less likely to be granted, the probability likely depending on the length of the overstay, but not impossible.
