1) She should apply for a visitor visa before you submit your PR, as it is very difficult if not impossible to get a visitor visa from India once you have a PR in process.

2) All outland applications, no matter where in the world you are applying from, must be sent Mississauga. CIC then determines which VO your application will be processed in. Because you are a PR and not a citizen you have to be in Canada to apply.

3) It's alright if you aren't working. All you need to do is show how you will support yourselves once she lands as a PR. You can show how your degree will get you a job, for instance.

1 - Yes she can certainly apply. However with a Canadian PR spouse there is a high chance any TRV will be rejected unless she can show significant ties to home country that would convince CIC she will return after TRV expires.
2 - You always submit the outland PR app to CPC-Mississauga. Once they finish sponsor approval, the app is then forwarded on to New Delhi office by CIC.
3 - Since you are a PR you of course must be residing in Canada to submit the application, and during the entire processing. So as long as your school is in Canada, you should be fine.
