Personally, I’m worried about how Harry will react. He’s not going to take this well, certainly.
Now, the question here is how intelligent Hermione was. If she left the letter somewhere Harry can find it—or would know to look—then Harry would at least know what happened. Probably couldn’t be used as evidence, but it would help.
Hermione probably won’t be cut off from any outside contact, so she will be able to tell Harry about the duel if she wants to/is able to. We can’t discount the possibility of obvliation.
The terms of the challenge state that she can’t tell anyone about it before or after the duel or it goes to the Wizangamot. So, no, presumably she can’t tell Harry about it.
Heck, she might have severely injured Draco by accident, rendered basic medical care, and then just left, because she can’t tell anyone. If someone found Draco unconscious and half-dead later, and they figured out Hermione did it and left him, that would look like attempted murder.
Oooh, now that’s interesting. If mentioning the duel means she automatically gets declared guilty as per the Ancient Rules, it’s going to be damned tricky to walk away from this.

Hence, a dead-drop, assuming she thought of it.
