She was actually of Vána and Estë, though one passage would seem to place her among the people of Irmo (Lórien). She was of the kin of Yavanna (and thus Vána also).

you should probobly read it; Melian was of the same race as the Valar.
Now, moving on to more important questions: How did beren get into melians girdle? Did she, or did she not die in the sack?

Well, it would have been more clear if you had said "How did Beren get through Melian's girdle?" But I'm not really dirty... I promise.
