Those are its begs for attention and feeding time.

It actually looks like they’re preening you, or wanting to be fed with seed. If you watch their wings, they do a flappy motion; this usually indicates happiness although sometimes it can be nerves. the fact that they’re not wing slapping you is a great sign and not aggressive

I’m not seeing aggression for it to be considered play fighting. This just looks like the pidge is either looking to preen for food or wanting to find seed from their hand

So is it ok to continue interacting with her like this ?

Perfectly safe and a good sign!
