I thought that she was trapped in a stairwell that was locked on both ends... maybe the stairs went up to the attic or something, but I think the house was a single story and my recollection is that the stairs didn't lead anywhere... she was just stuck in there. (Maybe she was drugged - tranquilized?)
Besides, I think the images of Harry were telling - Dexter was so focused on getting his life back, to finding himself again, to start rebuilding after Rita's death that he was making
this kill really important to him... which opens himself up to mistakes... killing during daylight, last second kill room using newspaper, getting tranquilized, etc. Maybe not investigating the house was a mistake because of this?

Why is dexter so concerned about how a girl, who is clearly in a very deep state of shock, will react to kind of seeing him do his thing through a grate from across the room.

I think it might also be because this is the first person, since Harry (and his victims) to truly Dexter for who he really is. Perhaps it was the shock of that realization and the timing following Rita's death?
I also think a lot of the storyline so far and Dexter's internal monolouges suggest that he's not quite sure what's going on inside of him... he kills this roadkill guy and still feels empty, he misses Rita and he doesn't think it's just because it's part of his cover story, he seemed genuinely moved when the psychologist told him that Harrison was too young to be impacted by what he saw happen to Rita, etc. Perhaps Dexter the killer has developed a new layer and is becoming more normal - developing actual feelings outside of just primative aggression, protection, etc...?
