Is she actually from the Province of Holland, or is this a metonym for the Netherlands? If the latter, 'the Netherlands' should probably be the default answer.

"The Netherlands" is accepted, bare "Netherlands" is not a correct English form. "Holland" is formally wrong but linguistically right.

I also think it is repetitive for us who already know how to write and read with fluency, but I think the course is great to start from the very very beginning.

You can always move on to other lessons as soon as you finish the first level of a lesson.

We need the "is" in English. "Where is Carrie from?" "Carrie is from Holland."
"Carrie from Holland" is not a complete sentence because it has no verb. "Is" is the verb.

In English, leaving "is" out of sentences is big mistake, it doesn't have anything to do with whether or not one intended to write a full sentence or not. Duolingo would not be doing its students justice if it let such a serious grammatical error pass as correct.
