Answer 2

Sounds like you've already answered your own question:  because she wants to sleep but you haven't covered her from the distractions yet

Answer 3

It is her way of telling you she wants to be covered and go to sleep. Companion birds need a lot of sleep, at least a couple more hours than we humans are used to getting. My birds settle in around 7pm or so. I dim the lights, and leave a nightlight on for them. They go right to sleep, and later when I come in to use the computer they do not even stir. They sleep until around 7am or later (I don't cover them). Establish a routine for your budgie. Maybe she was unintentionally encouraged to behave this way when you covered her the first time she started cage-crawling. Start "putting her to bed" earlier than you have been; dim the lights, say "night-night", cover her cage if she likes that, then try to keep the noise in her area to a minimum. Do this before her climbing begins, and soon she will no longer climb. She will undoubtedly appreciate just being able to close her eyes and snooze. Most birds make a little grinding sound with their beaks when they are settling in for the night, you should listen for it as the cue to put her to bed. Our birds are like clockwork that way. Try it and see!!
