Is it permissible to marry a girl whom the grandmother breastfed three full times, without witnesses to prove it? And does the ruling differ if there are witnesses?

The prohibitive suckling must consist of five full sucklings according to the preponderant opinion. If the grandmother suckled her sister's daughter only three full sucklings, then it is permissible for you to marry her, unless other suckling between you is proven.
