Pretty straightforward.
Me is the indirect object.
What is to wonder about?
She kindly offered me her seat. = she was kind enough to
She offered me her seat kindly. = offered in a kind manner
I would diagram them the same.
Now, if it said, "Kind she offered me her seat ", or "She, being kind, offered me her seat", I would change the word modified.
I would only accept the second diagram as correct (if I were judging a competitive sentence diagramming round), and I would prefer it if the indirect object came after the adverb since that is the order within the sentence.
Muchas gracias, senior!
