Life insurance is not a product that is designed to pay yourself. It is designed to leave a benefit after you have passed. So there is no point in which you can collect on your own benefit.

With that being said, there is something called an Accelerated Death benefit rider which allows a person to draw down on their benefit, if they are diagnosed with a Terminal illness. The specifics on this rider would have to be reviewed with the specific insurance company you work with though.

The only way that you can collect on your own insurance policy is if you own a Cash-value based policy, from which you can borrow or surrender the cash value; or if you own a Return of premium Term Life policy and have outlived the Term period, in which you would receive a 100% rebate of all premiums paid.

As long as she has her own policy on her own, it would not affect your insurance in the sense of premium or the need to have her insured on your policy. However, most auto insurance company want to have her listed as a driver in the household since she lives with you. The policy actually follow the vehicle and not the driver. If she was to drive this vehicle and get into an accident, your policy would be the primary and her policy would be secondary.
