1 - Will Vilja use stolen items? (Doesn't seem to, but I'm not certain.)
2 - Will Vilja make use of a full set of alchemy apparatus? Will she benefit from better apparatus?

1- no, I don't think she will
2 - She wont benefit from better apparatus, but she will get better over time and there is a quest that teaches her more alchemy.

Thanks. So there is no point in giving her a full set of apparatus, all she needs is a basic (cheap) mortar and pestle? (I've also discovered she will not use enchanted arrows.)
We're at the stage of her quests where Heneri just taught her a couple of spells, hopefully she won't accidentally paralyze me now (like I've done to her on a few occasions, lol).

How does Vilja actually make potions? Is it just adding an item to the PCs inventory, checking to see if the correct ingredients and equipment is available or what? Yesterday she made a cure disease potion and gave it to the PC but she has no equipment and no ingredients in her inventory.  |

I don't think Vilja "creates" a potion; it seems to be a random scripted event where, after she tells you she has made a potion for you, it appears in your inventory (though in my case Vilja is lugging around a ton of ingredients and currently has a full set of apparatus). In my game this seems to occur about once an hour (real time).

ARG!!! We've spent 15 RL months collecting ingredients! We won't need them?

Well, you will need them if you are an alchemist. I don't know about Vilja, when I first checked her inventory (shortly after meeting) she had a mortar/pestle and a handful of ingredients, though it was some time before she gave me a potion. A couple of times I left her searching for ingredients at the Arcane University while I was busy in the city and now the majority of her inventory is ingredients (I don't think looking for ingredients is part of her daily schedule so these two times were quite lucrative). Have never checked what she would do if she had no mortar/pestle and/or ingredients (she WILL complain if she has no shoes, lol).
