Is this subjective or a clear comma error
At first she was disappointed because she enjoyed being with him.
- I am thinking there should be a comma after the word first; is this subjective though?
And it’s a good thing she did as that night led to several firsts
- possibly a comma is needed after the word did?
Any suggestions would be helpful for me.

The second is probably subjective as well. If as means because, no comma is needed in many style guides. However, there's a strong case for a comma here because the sentence is more understandable with one.
You could count them both as uncounted errors of this is for a review.
