Hi Nicol, I can imagine Filch saw Sarah enter the tunnel to the sweet shop and followed her. Since I do not say how high the ceiling is in the sweet shop, it could be low enough for Filch to reach up and grab Sarah. Or maybe one of the ghosts told Filch about where Sarah is and he walks over to the store.
The real solution to the time puzzle in the sweet shop is, spoiler space The timer resets each time Sarah leaves the sweet shop, so she should stay for a little while than leave and once she is in the sweet shop basement she can turn around and go back. I tried this when working on the space last year and I assume it still works.
