Hard to say: Asthma is tricky and sometimes it can fade away for a while to then just abruptly appear years later. Most likely she will have some form as she gets older but whether it improves or worsens is impossible to say.

Doubt it: Most of the toddler wheezing that little kids may grow out of is gone by the time they enter school.If she still has symptomatic periods at 10, consider this a lifelong tendency with great chances it can be well controlled for years at a time.Have a yearly checkup and modify any maintenance meds based on need. Be aware that this might show up intermittently.
