My contractor called me and told me he extensively checked the attic and found the source of the roof leak, but absolutely no mold. He is going to repair the roof. If I have a home inspector perform a visual and air quality test and if it turns out negative (i'm pretty sure it will) can I then charge the tenant for the testing? She sends ranting e-mails that border on harassment. I'm having the test done, not because I believe there is a problem, but because I'm really tired of her constant complaints and threats.

If it were me I would keep "at arms length" from this T. Don't acknowledge her e-mails. Keep them, but store them in a electronic folder with Renter Jane (or whatever). Keep don't delete. print off if you want for file. I would correspond by a letter to the T after the inspection and keep a copy for yourself. Noting the roof leak was repaired and no mold was found. Don't play into her power struggle by responding to e-mails.
