You seem not to have noticed that the Tiresias Orb caused two problems. One was the threatening of the future of the human race as everybody was turned into Blair's ideal woman, The other was the long term fact that Ace was not changed back when everybody else was.
I'm aware of both points, especially given I linked to several strips concerning both issues.

It was the last of those two that she couldn't do anything about. Ace stayed as a girl until Kade kissed him and then Kade stayed as a girl
until Chloe intervened.
Two things here: 1.) you're conflating "wasn't allowed" with "couldn't" (that's two different things) 2.) Chloe stole Twiggit's idea.
For point one, Twiggit was compromised during the event. She also wasn't aware (at that time) that Ace had been affected, and had no way of knowing he'd be outside the building when the effects of the orb were reversed. She isn't psychic. Once the matter was brought to her attention, she brought up the vase as a short-term solution. It wasn't ideal, but it was the best she could come up with until she'd had time to study Blair - which is how she discovered the risidual energy from Blair's contact with the orb was still attached to him. And from that, she extrapolated that Blair could be used to change Kade back.
Which leads us to point two: without Twiggit's research, Chloe couldn't have done jack for Kade. She was avoiding contact with Blair, like every other girl at CH, until Brooke told her why she and Twiggit were looking him.

So a bit of a flake is putting it mildly when she's violating every ethical principle of being a teacher and a scientist.
Again, no worse than Doc Brown using his dog "Einie" to test the DeLorean, or regularly using Marty in his science experiments. Which, like Twiggit, was presented comically to establish her and Emmett's eccentricity. So yes, she's a bit of a flake.

I'm not sure that you can be sensible and "a bit of a flake". Those two seem rather contradictory to me.
Because she's still a responsible adult (for
example). It's just in most cases, she tends to be a goof instead, which also makes her a flake.

Now in the scenario where Chloe takes Abby to Hell the answers are
1) By magic.
Which assumes Slash-Stab was feeling cooperative.
2) Five minutes.
(see 1)
3) Nothing because she'd be fully human again.
(at what cost?)
The above solution is about the same as turning to Tia for help. Sure, she can probably give you what you want with a snap of her fingers (literally), or a wave of her finger. But that "help" hinges entirely on whether she feels like cooperating, because she and Slash-Stab are much more likely to screw you over instead for their own amusement.
Abby would've been better off with Twiggit, because she's willing to provide her services free of charge and can usually come up with a solution, so long as she's given
enough time.
