Chinese doesn't really have a real "yes". 對的 (对的) just means correct. The most straightforward yes answer to a yes/no question would probably be [verb you want to confirm]+的. So "yes" in response to "會不會" would be 會的.

Ooooh!!!! That makes sense!!! Thank you so much! I think the time I first noticed her saying 对的 a bunch was while on the phone with her bank, so it makes sense she would be “confirming” things. Thanks again!

不用謝!

Sorry, by the way, if I seemed rude in my initial comment. I didn't mean to, but in hindsight it could have appeared so.

Haha no worries, it fit right in with my cheeky comment.
