I don't think it would be offensive: it's kind of self-deprecating to admit to not understanding it.    Not that that's necessarily what she meant.  It could be the other way round - that she understood it perfectly, and was earnestly checking that the guests had too.  But that wouldn't stop her talking in front of Mark!  I don't think it's a conspiracy -  the major "conspiracy theory" (TJLC) about Sherlock has been put to rest.   Of course, she could have been refuting TJLC, I suppose, if the guests had seemed to be supporting it, or even curious about it?  (And that would be a touchy topic for Mark, after SDCC, etc.).  Sadly, I don't suppose we'll ever know!  It's a shame she didn't get more time to chat and explain. 

Actually, the oddest thing about it is asking if they'd seen all of it.  Who would pay to go to Sherlocked without watching all of the episodes, especially the most recent ones?   Unless she was emphasising that last bit as the key to understanding it (which it kind of is).

My first thought was actually that she couldn't say what it was really about, because Mark was sitting right over there... then again, I've probably spend too much time reading too much conspiracies. 

Same here! (Including the part about conspiracies.;-)

I would not be surprised if she was hinting at a little something deeper.  She strikes me as a sly one, that Wanda.

Just watching her banter with Tim, I wouldn't cross her. 
 

Dunno, does she even know about TJLC? I mean I doubt she's be interested in something like this, even if someone on the set has told her about this - and this is quite unlikely.

Well, I could just see it - if she was aware of TJLC, and if the people at the tables were obviously TJLC believers, then her comments would make sense - did they watch it all the way through? (Because Johnlock didn't happen).  Did they understand what it meant? (Because it didn't mean JL).  But that relies on those specific circumstances.   I agree that it's very difficult to judge unless we were there and heard it in context. 

I seem to recall people said there weren't that many there.

I did see a comment on tumblr about it.  And asking whether people understood, then having to keep quiet fits well with a conspiracy!  But yes, I think it's unlikely, and without further information there's no point in speculating ... except that we all do love to speculate and with S5 not in the works yet we don't have enough to speculate about!

Maybe you should write a mail to Hartswood. And then I could visit you and kill two birds with one stone. 
 

But the flights to LA (and NY) are cheaper than to most other locations because they are so popular. At least it is my experience

Well, Birmingham might not be exactly Central Europe but travelling to the UK is much cheaper for us Europeans than a transatlantic flight.
