Did any one else think that the reason Sam didn't do call is that Pamela needed to be next to Dean's body in order to bring his ghost back?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just figured anyone who should have died was going to be reaped anyway, and she was a lost cause. Saving didn't even occur to me.

I think the reason Sam didn't call the EMTs is because Ruby has sucked (or some other rhyming verb) every last bit of common sense out of his head.
I'm becoming increasingly convinced that she's playing a long game and corrupting him to some end other than just having a handy demon-killing tool in hot boyfriend form.

I didn't think she'd survive, but I thought the reason Sam didn't even try was because Pamela needed to be near Dean's body.

What I want to know is why Pamela didn't have some sort of protective amulet, conjure bag, or was standing in a protective circle. If you are even vaguely occult-y and have to go work with the Winchester boys, you should take precautions.

I don't trust Ruby. I could be wrong, but I find her appearance after Azazel's death just a little too convenient. Ruby was clearly aware of Sam's latent abilities from the start and managed to mold herself into something of a confidante for Sam in S3.
Then in S4, after all of Sam's efforts to bring Dean back failed, Ruby returned and offered Lilith's destruction as a means to help fill the Dean-shaped hole in Sam. At the the same time, she managed to finally become the only person Sam would trust.
Also, Alastair and Ruby seem to be able to enter and exit hell at will. Ruby was in hell for what? A month before she returned? She said as part of her deal to be sent back, she was supposed to kill Sam. And yet, the Crossroads demon Sam tried to deal with refused Sam's offer, saying things were just the way they wanted them to be. And really, after Ruby spent hundreds of years ("back when the Plague was big") in hell, how can Lilith think a month in hell was enough "rehab" for Ruby to be trusted with such a task?
It's too neat.
Of course, my speculation also swings wildly that Ruby is a double-agent angel and Sam is God's secret demon bunker-buster.
This show drives me crazy. But I love it. :-)

What was the window doing open and why wasn't there a salt line in front of it and the door?

Because books.
It doesn't make a lot of sense that Sam and Dean didn't lay salt lines to protect their own vulnerable bodies, if nothing (and no one) else.
I think the easiest reason to explain Pamela's death, though, meta as it may be, is to give both of them something (more) to feel guilty/angsty about. (As if they didn't already, what her being blind thanks to them, of course.)
