The woman clearly acted out of line (why were you THAT drunk, idiot?) proportional to the situation. But I wonder if we have the whole story, if she did try to say something to the child's parent before dealing with the child directly, or even if she at first asked the child to stop in a reasonable adult manner. If it didn't stop, I wouldn't stay there and fight, I'd ask to be moved if possible. (Although, keep in mind one empty seat is not like another - if I don't have anyone next to me and the only other option is to have to cram in next to some big guy and be squished, why should I have to do that so Junior can keep happily kicking my nicer seat? I guarantee I paid more for my seat than he did for his.)
