According to Scott Allie, we can assume Buffy knows everything that anyone in her organization knows, including Andrew. (Personally, I think this is a ridiculous premise for a group that has been hellbent on keeping secrets from each other for seven years, but I'm not the editor.) That means she knows Spike's alive, and she knows he and Angel came to see her in Rome, and she apparently didn't do anything about it. That doesn't bode well for her still having feelings for him - and if she really is over him, then there's nothing to "close off," is there?
Except Issue 1 explicitly states that Buffy doesn't know about why the Immortal dating the decoy is hilarious. Buffy clearly doesn't know everything that Andrew knows and it's established in the first issue.
And I see that Maggie has handily addressed this already, but I'll say that I disagree with that statement that Buffy knows everything that Andrew or anyone in her organization would know. People keep secrets - Season 8 revolves around everyone keeping secrets. Dawn not wanting to talk about Kenny, Buffy not telling Willow about the future, Twilight's mystery identity.
As for Buffy's feelings, the fact that she's fantasizing about Angel and Spike shows us she still cares. The scene in #20 where she holds the cross and says, "Oh Angel" shows us she still cares. The thing that doesn't make sense is her knowing and acting like she doesn't care. It's why I think she doesn't know.
