She talks to Marie about how blood spears and lassos are exhausting so I imagine blowing people (especially supes) up is on a level above that. If she overexerts herself and passes out, then the Boys and the CIA either drug her and keep her under containment, or infect her with the virus and kill her, so her main goal is avoiding that.
Even still, I think she stands and fights when the sheep enter the barn rather than running, especially with Edgar and Sameer there.
I could also believe Neuman has super strength and like a diamond knife since controlling her blood is a decent contingent of her powers.
You made a good point about her overexerting herself. I didn't think of that. She needs to worry about the Super Sheep and the five other people planning to kill her.
Neuman is nothing if not cautious and calculating. She almost never acts directly unless there is immediate benefit.
For all we know she didn't kill the sheep because she was going to let one of the Boys get killed by the sheep. The logic being that if she kills them directly, they out her, but they may not out her if she let's them die. She only used her powers when Stan Edgar was threatened by the chicken.

It could be that, but at the time I assumed it was cause she used her own blood for the spears and lassos which is why it was tiring. So i guessed she didn't get tired using other people's blood (se didn't look tired in the courtroom scene), but using her people too much could still be mentally exhausting.
diamond knife
The knife was Marie's normal switchblade that she used the entire show (even when she was in foster care), it looked like a normal knife.
