Ehh, kinda. She did try to stand him down and she did live but Anton hearing the toilet flush in the other room is what stopped him from doing anything to her. He should have come back with his shotgun and blown the other person in the trailer away then taken the captive bolt gun to her giant fat neck until she talked.
I've read different interpretations. A lot of people agree with you. Others think Anton respected that she didn't show any fear.
I think Anton never considered killing her, even if the audience expected him to. He already had enough to find Llewelyn Moss. It's not like Llewelyn would have showed up for work after taking that drug money, anyway.
Guessing you've read the book which I haven't and probably should. Going by what you see in the movie though, Anton spares the accounting guy who seemed to be scared shitless after witnessing Stephen Root's character get killed. Like I said in the other reply, he could have came back in and shot the person in the bathroom then gotten the information out of that lady. He's obviously not averse to leaving witnesses to his murders living as you see when he blows away Stephen Root's character.
Also, that lady didn't have any reason to fear Anton. To her, she's just some random nosey creep who won't take no for an answer. Anton is creepy looking but terribly intimidating in appearance, at least to me and apparently to her as well considering the way she talked to him. Finding out where Llewelyn worked might have been useful though. Not because he'd expect to find Llewelyn there but because he might be able to get some more information on where Llewelyn might run if he ditched the transponder.
I have. What's in the movie is pretty much what's in the book, minus a few passages, so I don't think it will provide more insight into the characters.

This bitch was the ultimate badass of the movie. She stood down Anton Chigurh and lived.

Only time using his bolt gun would’ve been appropriate
