You may be right. It is possible to read the scene that way. She was acting sneaky, but ...
That interpretation makes the scene worse, not better. It means that of all the times she could have chosen to flee, she chose the exact two or three seconds available between the last time Penn saw her and the time the baddie made it to the bedroom.
So, she did that without knowing the baddie was there, and it was just a coincidence that she happened to leave at the exact time necessary ...
Plus, if she was planning to leave, and the whole shower thing was an act to fool Sean Penn - why did she turn the water on and leave the curtain closed? He couldn't tell if the water was running from across the street.
The running water should have been meant to fool someone actually in the apartment, not someone watching from across the street.
I think the answer to my question is that she ran the water because it was necessary to fool the bad guy who was in the apartment - even though she didn't theoretically know he was there.
