I would say yes on why she was trying to get out. I would set her up so with some dry land so she can maybe drop the rest of her eggs, which should indeed as you speculated be infertile. I would put eggs in a jar in rubbing alcohol to preserve them ( do not know if this will work, I did it with some emperor scorpions of mine that died and 7 years later they look preserved still )
