alc24 1. She warmed her hands over the fire./by the fire. Both are good.

2. The walls act as a noise insulator/as insulation. Both are okay. "as insulation" would be understood as thermal insulation.

3. She got on the subway at the front/toward the front. This is okay. OR
She got on at/toward the front of the subway.
