It is not written in the rules that ando must win nationals to go to Sochi. The rules are so broad and non specific that of course ando can go to Sochi even if she doesn't win nationals and she can win Japanese nationals with no 3/3 too over the current field. So even if you think for some odd reason that ando must win nationals to go well That is very possible.
Unfortunately for her lizas position as premiere jumping bean in skating has been taken by Gracie gold.
It's not a written rule, but the JSF did make it a requirement specifically for Ando. Even at full health (unlikely), I doubt she'll beat Mao, Kanako, AND Suzuki. It'll be like trying to fight her way through an entire wall of people.
