Is this correct?
She does not have a lot to say. = She does not have a lot of what she could say

"She doesn't have a lot to say" usually means that she's quiet.

She may have a lot going on in her mind, but she doesn't speak it out loud in public.

Barbara, who answers in American English. My housekeeping skills attest to the truth of the second law of thermodynamics: Left to themselves, things get more and more random!

Hi, Barbara.

"She doesn't have a lot to say."

Would it also mean that she did say something, but many were left unsaid?

It's possible, I guess.

"She didn't say a lot" is what I would expect for that.
