I asked her to give me her email vs I asked her for the email

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in slightly different contexts. 'I asked her to give me her email' implies that you requested the email address specifically from her. On the other hand, 'I asked her for the email' suggests that you asked her for an email in general, without specifying whose email it should be.
