yes she can change from tourist visa to residence card. Soon as she has entered the host state she is accompanying EEA family member who is exercising.
Think about it this way a visa will most likely be for 90 days, during that 90 days you apply for resident card (in some states) then she applies for residence certificate, the residence cert might be a temporary one for 6 months so the visa is no longer relevent from when she applies for certificate.
Can she travel to UK, well no not at the moment, she would have to apply for a family permit. But there is a case going through court at the moment (do a google search for "sean McCarthy visa) and in the likely event he wins then UK will have to accept just a residence certificate from any other state.
Sorry its confusing but she can go from Hungary to Germany or any Schengen country with just a residence certificate but not to some other countries.
