I wouldn't worry about the ears not standing yet. Usually, they will stand at some point around 4-6 months of age, but sometimes even later depending on the dog. I'm not sure about the behavior you're describing - if you want to take a video of her doing it, you can request a one-on-one consultation and upload it for me to look at. In general, when dogs turn their back to your during petting or other interaction, it's a sign that they trust you and they like what you are doing. Many dogs do this because they like being petted on the back or over their hips.
