I was advised to hire a tax professional and I did but not I am not sure if she will be able to file before 15th Oct deadline - as she is not at all in touch since last 2 days.
Now if I file the return myself and she also file at her end (both efile) what will happen?
You cannot both e-file. Whichever one files first will be accepted, and the other will be rejected. There will be no confusion, and it will not trigger an audit, because the IRS will get only one tax return - whichever one is filed first.
You cannot e-file with TurboTax after October 15, but the tax professional using uTax will be able to e-file for a few weeks after that (until the IRS shuts down e-filing, which is usually sometime in November).
