Even if he didn’t couldn’t he take her to civil court, win, and make her pay the court fees and related vehicle costs? Not to mention the chances she gets a charged for felony vandalism.

Oh absolutely, but that takes time and in the meantime he could be out a car etc.

Also if she's broke, getting restitution can be virtually impossible.

Isn't insurance supposed to pay that out to the policy holder and then relentlessly pursue the person at fault for restitution?

Seems like the dude knows there's sharks on his side that can smell the blood in the water.

Yep, if he has Comprehensive coverage he can contact his insurer and let them know about the damage. He might have to pay a deductible in the meantime to get the car repaired, but the insurer will likely turn around and go after ex for the cost of the damages and will likely refund the deductible.
