I think that Albanian Language is one of those rare languages that can translate Etruscan, and is possible that Albanian Language it self to be an Proto-Indo European language...

It is possible but it sounds very doubtful on the face of it that she could cook up something definitive without new dynamic discoveries. See Younger's page on Linear A --linked to the Wikipedia article on Linear A.
Younger found a couple of words that could be linked to either IE or Semitic: Asasara (a Goddess name) and kuro "total". But other than that, I don't think there is mucho else.
What specific data does she give linking Luwian and L-A?
Regarding Etruscan and IE --it's possible but it's not the mainstream view. The Etruscan-Albanian idea was laughed off the planet when Mayani's book came out.
