4. If she works at an office then "at" is the right preposition. If you're talking about an office as a room then in is ok. Examples here: http://english.stackexchange.com/questions/9749/at-or-in-the-office
7. "but" is the word I would use.
8. just "No, not anymore" or "No, I don't" is better I think. If I was asked that question it would seem weird to start talking about "there" which refers to a place.

They are OK. For sentence 5, you could put a ; after yet instead of .
