Who is Sandra Marling?

In the first example I gave, it looks like Sandra may be having difficulty holding her disguise together; and wearing the same t-shirt two days in a row or an identical t-shirt two days in a row isn't something most people do. But for someone pretending to human it's exactly the kind of mistake they might make.

An organizer of a convention would certainly wear the convention t-shirt two days in a row. On a normal convention day I would say she has as many of the same t-shirt as days of the Con. Given the events of the night before, at HER convention that she is responsible for, it would not surprise me at all for her to be in the same clothes because she never left the convention floor.

Re: Marling being exhausted and nervous, that doesn't necessarily mean she's weak. It could simply be a matter of psychological exhaustion (which would fit with the nervousness.) She could still be fully capable of physical feats, but still mentally a wreck.

But not an identical shirt. Sure, she might wear something that has the convention's name or logo on it, but it would probably be a different type of clothing or if another t-shirt at least a different color.

Generally speaking, Jim doesn't waste his words, especially when he's describing characters other than Harry, or describing their actions. We know who Harry is, Jim's descriptions of other characters gives us clues about who and what they are. Your explanation might make sense if Sandra had mentioned how hard she's been working without Molly's help, or something along similar lines.
I believe Sandra Marling; or whoever was pretending to be her, will eventually make a return. It's then that Harry will remember Sandra Marling's appearance and her physical actions at Spatercon!!!, not just what she said. So I'm making a mental bet that the reason for Sandra Marling's behavior is that in her haste to free Molly she let her disguise slip, rather than she was having great difficulty dividing her time between running the convention and keeping track of Molly. Both may seem equally likely, but one makes more sense dramatically.
