From what I've seen from the footage, based on the conflicting orders, the officers on her left yelling at her, where that guy was at the start of the confrontation at the rear of the vehicle, it seems likely she didn't even know that guy circled around her entire car from the rear of her vehicle.
I think she freaked out because of the guy coming in to detain her so yes, she probably wasn't paying attention to the guy in front. It's a pretty unfortunate series of events as the guy decides to cross at the precise moment when another officer is trying to get her out of the car. From what I've seen, cops generally have better coordination than that in these sorts of scenarios, but these guys obviously aren't used to dealing with people in vehicles.
