It's not really relevant to applying to college and it's not something you would normally disclose in an application, so no.
2 :
Why would it? Are your child's medical records made public to the college they are applying to? I wouldn't think so.
3 :
My biggest concern is why you are fretting over their future in college when the big issue is, apparently, that they need help NOW... But no, it should not.
4 :
Most to all collages whouldn't care if your child seeks mental health counseling--they just care how smart your child is and how willing they are to learn. You know, Like most schools. And if they do happen to look into that, they shouldn't make a big deal because, well--she DID(is) get(ting) help, right? So they wouldn't have to worry about unusual mental breakdowns that would effect her work.
5 :
No. It wouldn't. In fact getting help with depession is gonna really help your kid's college career, way to go
