A seed mix is better than pellets. Gives them the opportunity to forage and exhibit natural behaviours and gets their brain working.
Hoarding is normal and a small stockpile is nothing to worry about. If there's quite a bit, just hold of feeding for a day or two and see what the pile is like then.
I wouldn't wake her to give her a treat, wait for her to wake up naturally. I've been on the recieving end of a bite from a disturbed hamster. Not pleasant.
How long have you had her?

Syrian, about a week.
