She herself and her friends~

There was actually a girl sitting next to me whom I did not know, but she was laughing away to herself and her friends saying that the film was...Sh*t. Well let me tell you, when that first big jump came, I don't think I have ever seen someone actually make air in a chair before. The rest of the films duration saw her hiding behind her hands, jumping like clockwork, and concluded with her saying "That was the scariest film I have ever seen!" The point being, give this movie a chance because it will pay off in the end!

I think "herself and her friends" is the object of "was laughing away to."; am I right?
Then I'd like to know what "laugh away to somebody" means?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Then, is it coherent to say she was laughing away herself?
