If the seller has instructed her that they do not want to consider any other offers, yes

Have your agent call the listing agent and ask if she can be notified if the current deal falls apart and have all your "ducks' in a row to submit a clean offer if this should happen.

In Texas the home owner can just wait on the contingent offer to close and not accept backups. Unsure about CA laws.
