It's a bad sentence. I don't like any of your versions.
This strategic retreat in good order was
noticed by a woman present
and was also observed by a man.

No

None of them are good. You could make it better by putting the man first: This strategic retreat in good order was not observed by a man, but was not lost on a woman present
She marked how graceful
was his negligent pose.
Unusual
She marked how graceful his negligent pose
was. Normal 
Are both sentences good?
Please.
