She was very gentle and this was the first year she checked it (my son is 12), but my sister says she shouldn't be checking at all no matter what. This super quick, gentle check, is totally fine, right?

This has been discussed at length before. There have been threads in both the Parenting and Health and Wellness forums. You can search for them. I would post the links, but I can't easily do it from my phone, sorry. Perhaps someone else will.

Yes. By puberty, he should be retracting. The only problem is forcible retraction of a baby/young child.
