The Hindi words for "sitting" and "standing" describe a state of being rather than an action. So the non-negative form of this sentence would simply mean "She is standing", not "She stands". Correspondingly, the negative form (which appears here) means "She is not standing", rather than "She does not stand".
Wouldn't you need to use something like 'वह खड़ा नहीं कर रही है' to express this as the present continuous 'She is not standing'?
In this context, isn't it more of a simple present tense construction: 'She does not stand'?

Depends on context, but I don't think so. As a native speaker I didn't think of that when I first heard it.
