I also had the same aituation as you did - at first they sleep together and had no problems, play with each other peacefully and normal routines in one cage but after a few weeks they start fighting and had to separate them into 2 cages. (One male and female)
Well from what I think is that at first they were still young kids (mine were couple of weeks old only) so they are used to sleeping together since they were born together. ( I also assume they are from the same breed) But when they got older and sexually mature, they will start you know getting sexually active and will find that they want to have sex so it is natural for them to fight if put in the same cage. My advice wud be to separate them - syrian hamsters are meant to live alone I think.
Being active and cautious is normal for female hamster - she will want to protect herself and her future cubs when she gives birth even when she isn't pregnant. Because next time if she does get pregnant and gives birth, the male hamster will attack/eat the cubs thats why they cannot be in the same cage after that.
Bleeding from the vagina is normal if she is sexually active. Its something like period for humans. As long as she did not get any cuts or bleeding from fighting. But I agree that its best you bring her to the vet to check in case its somethign else thats wrong.
Hope I helped you in this post! Do keep us updated with the growth of your hammies!
