Is she basically throwing herself at me or does she really just want to practice her massage technique?
I once learned something related, and practiced on pretty random people. I never slept with any of them, or tried to. I am sure none of them would have let me lay hands on them if they'd thought it was a come one. I have known others who practiced on all sorts of people without having sex in mind. She may mean exactly what she says.

if she really just wants to practice, I'm going to have a super difficult time not popping a boner during this.
You could tell her that this possibility worries you because 1) you don't want to offend her and 2) you don't know each other well enough that you'd feel comfortable if you'd get an erection when she puts her hands on you. If she just wants to practice, she knows she can just ignore an erection if it comes, because she can trust you not to misunderstand her wish to practice for a come on. If it is a come on, she knows to take it a bit slowly.
I can't advise you on what to do if this is a come one. Mostly my comment is aimed at you not offending her by mistaking an innocent request for a come on, because I know for sure it doesn't have to be a come on.

I almost want to tell her I'm not so easy
That should only be a concern if you think she'll use you for a bit of fun that means a lot less to her than to you, then dumps you. You mention you had a crush on her in high school, so you should know a bit about her. You say she has a reputation for being cold. That doesn't sound like someone who casually picks up and dumps guys.
If you tell her you're not easy, you imply that she is a user, and you don't want to be used. You saying you are not easy says something not only about you. It also says that you see a real risk of her emotionally abusing you. That would be a direct insult. There are people who deserve to be insulted, but you should think very carefully whether you want to include this girl in that set.

on top of this, this girl was the first girl i ever had a crush on in high school and i'm now 23. she's also got a non-verbal learning disorder, meaning that she's basically got asperger's. furthermore, she's also a singer and super into jazz like me, and i've been looking for a good female singer for my band for ages.
Sounds like you don't want to insult her.
