If you told her, she would kill me.
She’s counting on her not to tell LeeAnn, so in her mind it should stay a hypothetical situation.

It's kind of a conditional sentence here. LeeAnn will kill her/him only if he/she tell her(LeeAnn) what they talked about, otherwise that will not happen. That's why Would is there

She is talking about something she said in the past but at that moment in the past, she was saying that she would be killed in the future
Does that make sense?
