I thought so, I would get her into a puppy socialisation class as quickly as possible, that should sort her out. Sounds like she's just not sure of other dogs and unfamilar people, once she realises they aren't a threat the problem should ease.

As for following you around, don't let her, praise her when she's been quiet in your absence and ignore her when she howls.
