Susie tells Polly that she could go either way on the issue of Zirconda's membership in the European Union.

What does she mean by this?

She understands the arguments on the subject, but does not endorse one opinion over the other

This is the best choice here. If someone says they "could go either way on an issue" it means that they have no strong inclination to one side of an argument or the other. The idiom expresses that they acknowledge both the arguments "for" and "against" an issue, but haven't yet concluded which argument they support. This is what Susie is telling Polly in this passage of the dialogue.

She has a distinct opinion on the topic, but doesn't want to share it with Polly

This is not what Susie's idiom expresses. Susie is actually saying that she can see herself supporting either of the two opinions on the subject, but she hasn't yet decided which one to support.

She has to do some more research on the topic before she can give an informed response

This is not what Susie's idiom expresses. Susie isn't saying she needs to do more research, just that she hasn't come to any formal conclusions yet.

She doesn't know the best way to explain her opinion without embarrassing herself

This is simply incorrect. Susie is "embarrassed to admit" that she doesn't have a concrete opinion on the subject, not that she doesn't know how to express her opinion.
