She can’t do sa’ee from outside the masjid because sa’ee is done between safa and marwa and they are located within the masjid. I have been told that the saf'ee area is not included within the huddod of the masjid though and if this is the case, then she can sit there if she is not pure.

The general ruling is that a menstruating woman is prohibited from entering a masjid, and the area of the masjid is defined by the boundaries as set out by the mutawallis of the masjid (the persons designated to manage the masjid). In the case of Masjid ul Haram, the main prayer areas within the outer masjid walls is designated as masjid, excluding the office areas, wudhu areas, storage rooms etc that are inside. The white marble area outside the masjid entrances is not classified as a masjid so she can sit there.

With regards to the safa marwa area, I did hear about 10 years ago that it was not a shari’ masjid but since then I have been told by a mufti residing in Madina that it is, so in that case she would not be allowed to enter the safaa marwa area neither.
