sure, quenching the sword on her blood surely will kill her but her soul will get stuck on the blade and then what? it will be pretty hard to commit suicide again as an inanimate object

I think she intends to boil herself from the blade being cooled in the water she occupies.

That won't even raise the water temperature to boiling. Water quenching was meant to introduce quick temperature drop that crystallizes the iron in the sword into pearlite and martensite micro-structures, and you only need to dip them quickly, not leaving them in the water. It's more believeable that she wanted to be killed by the sword plunging into herself.
That seems to be a rather large tub, just for sword quenching. Double-duty appliance?
It's actually normal-sized, given the smith was using water to quench instead of oil. Also, NOBODY but prostitutes uses the water from quenching for other uses (bathing/drinking/washing). The free iron ions and particles in that water will cause damage to pretty much everything.
