Does this wound look like it is healing okay?

Keep putting triple antibiotic (neosporin) on it. I like to use Betadine solution initially, to rinse out the wound, since it can get into the nooks, and crannies easily, then when dry, apply the antibiotic ointment. After the first time, I just use the antibiotic ointment. I do cover it loosely with a telfa type nonstick pad, and vet wrap, or tape to help keep the dirt out, and keep it moist.

I have been keeping her inside to keep it clean. I don't have a way to keep here separate from the other chickens outside. If she is in a cage with hay, should I still put a bandage? I thought she would just pick it off.

As long as you keep the ointment on it often enough to keep it moist, it will be fine. Just keep doing what you're doing, and give it a few weeks.

It looks like a vein and it needs to be pushed back in and stitched. It looked like it’s full of fluid or blood. That’s just my opinion. However the wound looks great
