So could Paul be referring to the Ephesian woman in 14b, but because he has just mentioned Eve in v13, and Eve was also called “the woman” in Gen, the term “the woman” would remind Tim of Eve as well, and be like saying “like Eve”?

Yes, I believe so. It is an outline of the original. Paul deliberately used the term “the woman” when it was more natural to say “Eve” with Adam. But if Eve is the outline (exact image) of the woman in Ephesus, then Paul could both link her to Eve while still referring back to the problem woman.
