Sounds normal: Onset of menses with female puberty will usually begin in the age range of 12-14. Some girls can begin as early as age 8-9! the first few cycles can be irregular.

Short,Yes: Girls generally grow an average of 2.5 inches (5cm) after 1st menses, that would place her at 58.5 inches as a projected final height or at the 10% for women.While shorter than most, she would have 10% that were shorter.She might actually grow a bit more than her projected height, but i wouldn't expect much.
