Put herself into a position ...

Hi

She was almost sorry that she had put herself into a position where she must be even slightly

involved; and she was as much in the dark as ever as to the truth of the situation.

Does the 1 part of that sentence say: She was almost sorry that she found herself in a situation which required from her even a slight involvment (in all that was happening).

Not exactly. 'She put herself into the position' means she did something to involve herself.

Ok

So she was sorry that she involved herself into a situation where she's, although just slightly, involved in what's going on?

Or maybe:

She was sorry she put herself in that situation because she would prefer not to be involved in it even a little bit.

She was not sorry: she was almost sorry.

She put herself in the position where she must be involved. It may be (=even) a little bit involved.
