I don't know many things about her.

It is fairly clear what that means. So, no. It is not ambiguous. It is not likely to cause any confusion.
Quote:
1-I don't know many things about her.
a-It is not true that I know many things about her. I know few things about her.
b-There are many things about her that I don't know (may-be there are also many things about her I do know).
[If I am correct, in spoken language the difference would be clear. I think in a, don't would be stressed and in b many.]

In (1)
don't is stressed (slightly). In (a)
not is stressed (slightly), and
few is stressed (more strongly). In (b)
many is stressed (as you suggested).
I think you have got it just right. :D
