You should seek consultation with an attorney to discuss this matter in details. Due to privacy concerns, it is difficult to recommend a course of action in a forum such as this.

If your mother leaves by the date that you have requested on the extension request, she should be treated like any other visitor to the US when she attempts to reenter at a later date. She does not need to leave the country before the expiration of the I-94 so long as she has filed a timely extension request and it is still pending. Leaving on a later date than the date requested even while the extension application is pending could possibly lead to problems. I do not know the CBP attitude to that situation. If the I-539 is denied and I-94 already expired when your mother leaves, there is even more of a possibility that she will have further difficulties in returning.
