Is there any such rule that requires me to have a visa of the country where I'm flying in from?
It's more of standard in India to apply for UK Visa first.
Will this constitute a visa rejection since she mentioned that my Schengen visa fees will be refunded?
No.
Will applying for UK visa be possible w/o securing an outbound visa to Schengen area?
Yes.

No formal rule that I know of but consulates have quite a bit of leeway in defining how to apply those rules and can also occasionally be plain dumb.

No, refunding the fee means the consulate decided the application was not admissible (Schengen visa code article 19) and no decision has been made. This is not a refusal (which is governed by article 32). You should be able to verify that by looking at the paperwork you receive and any stamps in your passport. A refusal comes with an official notification with a justification (out of a list of standard reasons) and a note about your right to appeal.
Will applying for UK visa be possible w/o securing an outbound visa to Schengen area?
No idea. If you get the chance, do point out that you have been told that you should apply for the UK visa first. Being caught between two contradictory or unreasonable interpretations of the rules is not unheard of, even between Schengen consulates and all you can do is persist and hope you encounter someone sensible at some point.
