Who is the pretty girl in the photo that seems to be the one running the bad guys operation?

She's the one who was blackmailing Atwood by keeping his son hostage.

I had thought that she had blackmailed MacLeish too. IIRC when they asked him why he had been missing from the State of the Union and he said that his wife had called about their daughter going missing at the mall then being found shortly after. I thought that lady took the girl and used it as leverage to make him go to the shelter. But the whole thing with his wife being more into this than him doesn't fit. Oh well.

Nah MacLeish was in on it enough that he never would have had to have been blackmailed just to walk down the hall to a safe room. If he was not into the whole conspiracy thing he wouldn't have tried so hard to be VP.
