Well that’s what the name implies and Russia is known for utilising female agents for such tasks. In fact, I find it highly unlikely that she wasn’t trained for this.

Too bad Disney will never allow the MCU to explore this side of her backstory.
She was the archetypal femme fatale spy when her characters was first created back in the 60s. So yes.
Black Widow is just a rip-off of Emma Peel. Even the team name "Avengers" is a rip-off of the TV series.
In a visual sense you could make an argument( supermodel looks, jump suit, scarlet red hair), but that's where it all ends. Widow started out as a villain and was trained to serve the soviets, then she progressed to an anti-hero and then to being a full-on hero. Emma Peel was a well educated, well trained British gal born into luxury and good taste who was good from the start last I checked. So no, not really a rip-off.

And Widow was before Emma Peel anyways.
Yes, but it should be noted that Widow went thru some costume changes before Marvel finally settled on a design, John Romita was definitely influenced by, more or less, how Emma Peel looked on the show. Tom Brevoot who has worked for Marvel for years as an editor said so, link - live.washingtonpost.com/the-avengers-050412.html

Scarlet Johansson, kinda. There's a certain similarlity between the Black Widow and Emma Peel. While the Widow was created earlier, when John Romita redesigned her costume to more or less what she wears in the movie, Diana Rigg in teh television series was a clear influence.
But to be honest, Emma Peel has influenced many female characters in media, including Wonder Woman in the 70's.

Fortunately not the '70s TV show. Wonder Woman would have been far too clothed.
