Could Pelosi theoretically be impeached instead?
Any government official can be impeached.
That's not exactly true.

No. Members of the Senate and House of Representatives are removed from office through a different process involving only the chamber of Congress in which they work. Under Article I, Section 5, clause 2, of the US Constitution, a Senator or Representative may be expelled if there is a formal vote on a resolution agreed to by two-thirds of the members of the Senate or House body who are present.
I don't think Pelosi needs to worry about 2/3rd of the House voting to remove her from office. She hasn't done anything illegal.
