She WILL win. It's inevitable at this point.

No you don't have two rounds.
In France the primaries are not formally part of the election, each party can choose to have them or not to have them.
France isn't like the US, there's no institutionalized bipartism. We have a bunch of candidates, we vote one time. The two with the highest score qualify to the second round, and then we vote once again. This is why she can't win.
Think of the Clinton vs Trump vs Third parties in the US. You guys voted once and most states felt to Trump. If you guys were to vote a second time, where Trump and Clinton would've qualify, Clinton would've won because most if not all of the Third parties voters would've reported their vote to Clinton.
