I see what you mean.
No, she isn't chatting with the people inside the window.
When I say "FROM A NEARBY WINDOW, PEOPLE ARE TALKING TO HER", I mean she's out on the ledge and people are talking to her (i.e. saying things to her) from a nearby window - perhaps they're appealing to her to come back inside or to stay still or not to jump or whatever. I don't mean to suggest she and they are having a cosy chat.
In my mind, as the action unfolds, I see the people inside appealing to her to come back inside then the policeman speaks on the loudhailer, at which point the people inside shut up and let her listen to the policeman.
