Is "Le" at the beginning necessary or do I need it only for emphasis?

Does Spanish allow combining this construction to say:

“No se qué ves en ese chico. No es totalmente feo pero ni que fuera Brad Pitt.”

Or could/should I say, “No es feo pero (tampoco) no es como si fuera...”

Thanks! 

I translate this with "what would she be thinking when she made it", is that correct? What confuses me a bit is that "estaría" is used to describe events in the past but it is present here. This is still just a 'condicional simple', correct?

Elsewhere I found an example where "¿Qué estaría pensando ella?" is being translated with "what was she thinking?" Again, the past seems to be implied here.

¿Por qué hay tilde en “ ésa”? 

“ésa sería mi abuela Carmen sin duda.”

and consists of a wooden box,

Kwizbot           y está formada por una caja de madera,
You                 y consiste en una caja de madera,

I read the lesson attached to this, but was wondering if the verb "consistar" can ever be used in this context, and if so/or not?

why and how would it be used?

Thank you.
