According to what our esteemed jurists say, it could be makruh to initiate a salam to a non-mahram woman, unless there is a valid purpose for it. And if the salam is done with lust, or falling into fitnah, then that of course must be avoided.
As for replying of a salam, if it does not entail lust, then she must reply, if it was specifically directed at her.
Husband and wife have responsibilities toward each other as well as rights. Husband is responsible to provide all livelihood expenses for his wife and protect her and look after her emotional needs and treat her as he wants her to treat him as read in Quran (And for them (wives) is like what is required by them with fairness and men have a degree on them)(2:228).
Wife has responsibility towards her husband to fulfill his needs as a husband as far as she can and to obey him in lawful things which concern his life and to be with him and not leave him when he needs her.
Both husband and wife are responsible to treat each other with respect and humor as the aim of marriage is peace of mind and heart. Sura Al-Room, verse 21.
There is no 'iddah for the wife to observe while "filing" for divorce. She must observe 'iddah only after the Islamic divorce is recited. When the talaq is recited, her 'iddah period will be three menstrual cycles.
