Quick trip over Easter Break in Salzburg (Flying into Munich) - Need suggestions!

My 17 year old daughter and I plan to fly into Munich on Easter Sunday and fly out the following Thursday. Yes, that leaves us 3 1/2 days. It's OK, we do this alot. I've been to Germany/Austria before, but realize that her interests don't match mine. We're renting a car. I'll be 6 weeks postop, so I'm looking for things that don't require tons of walking or standing, but I'm pretty tough:) We decided against Neuschwanstein since I've read that the 15 minute tour isn't really worth the effort and the bridge may not be accessible at this time of the year. I know the weather will be cold. The last time I was there was during October, it was fabulous weather, but alas, we have to work within school holidays. Our plans so far...

Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial in Germany - Allow 2.5 to 4 hours
SOM tour - She is performing in the Sound of Music at her school in April, so we'll definitely do the SOM tour. Any thoughts on using Panorama? 4 hours
Salzburg Cathedral/Walking around Salzburg
Shopping in Salzburg - can't do until Tuesday or Wednesday since most stores will be closed on Sunday and Monday
Bertchesgaden/Lake Kongisee? Not sure if this time of year would be the most optimum time to see this?

She is definitely interested in WW 2 history and we always love to see museums or manor houses/castles. She prefers not to be in the car too long, so I've ruled out Rothenburg and Vienna. Would LOVE to hear some suggestions! Also places to stay? Probably base ourselves in Salzburg.

Weather permitting, the boat ride on Kongisee to St. Bartholomä is worth the time and a beautiful German National Park well worth visiting. Other than the walk from the parking area (500 meters?) lined with souvenir shops and standing in line for the boat, it should not be too stressful. After a visit to St. Bartholomä at the first stop, you could take a short walk and then have a smoked lake trout and a drink before taking the boat back. The beer garden may also be open. This could be done in a half a day. I would have a backup plan if the weather does not cooperate. Fog and low clouds blocking the mountain views would make me change my plans.
