I plan to purchase exactly the same model again, set up the same way and plug into her bedroom. Is this possible? Would it make a difference ?

You can get a second extender, and link that to your router.  You might want to place that extender in between her bedroom and the router - ideally in a place where you get a good wifi signal from the router, and still reach the bedroom.

You could also try moving your existing extender to see if you can find a spot for it that reaches both rooms.  There are several wifi analyzer apps that can give you some idea of signal strength (netgear has a free one).

Alternatively if I additionaly installed my previous powerline XAV52O1 downstairs by the modem and XWN5001 upstairs in her bedroom, would this work in conjunction with my new NETGEAR Mini N300 Mbps Wi-Fi Range extender ?

That would also work (though it wouldn't work together with the extender, it would be an independent access point).  Powerline speed is a bit hit-or-miss - it depends on wiring and circuit load.  So if performance is weak, then try another pair of outlets if you can.

Note that a second extender (or the powerline approach) might need a different network name from the ones you have already.
