As for Ahsoka not using Improved Reflect with the Stun Bolts. I can see two reasons:

A) Stun Setting is almost always limited to Short range. They wouldn't have the range to reach her attackers even if she wanted to Reflect them.

B) These were Clone Troopers who were attacking Ahsoka. She wouldn't have risked injuring them, even accidentally.

She didn't deflect them into the ground, or into the air, or anything, they just dissipated immediately upon contact with her lightsabers. Wookieepedia states that stun bolts are "charged particles" that "overload the targets nervous system." Also from Wookieepedia: It was difficult to block a stun blast with a lightsaber... ...However, it was possible for a skilled lightsaber wielder to dissipate the stun beam, as demonstrated by Ahsoka Tano using her lightsabers to deflect* approximately 10 stun shots fired at her by clone troopers while she was on the run, falsely accused of murder."

*It say deflect, however, earlier it say that she dissipated them, and the footage clearly shows her dissipating them, so this is just a red herring.

Ahsoka has Improved Reflect, page 84 of CotR.
