I found this one hiding behind a filter tube from a big flowerhorn at a FS. I'm hoping it is a female Rotkeil, but it was so stressed I'm not sure what the colors and markings are going to be. Any help with this would be great.

A female, but almost certainly not a rotkeil. Probably a green. As others have said, the colours will come out rather more as she settles in.

Would she mate with a male Rotkeil?

Yes, should produce viable young.

Some would argue that they are just colour variants of the same species anyway.

Some would disagree !
 
She seems so much happier already. I just put my new Rotkeil in, and they seem to be getting along swimmingly!
