Does that mean that she can advance her animal HD when she goes up in level? Can she advance to become a dire were-creature, or would she need to be bitten by a dire were-creature? Sorry if this has been asked before, but a search revealed bubkis (and I couldn't find anything official). Hugs, Cherry.

Monsters advanced by racial HD are bigger, naster versions of the creatures born and/or bred that way. Only a very small number of creatures (like dragons) ever gain racial HD over the course of their existence. Can she advance to become a dire were-creature, or would she need to be bitten by a dire were-creature? Dire creatures are not "advanced" versions of normal creatures. The only way to become a Dire lycanthrope is to be bitter by another Dire lycanthrope.
