1. Eh, I'm of the opinion that the only reason Yang has been searching for Raven is just to find out why she left. That's all she seems to want is to ask her why she left her and Tai. Unless Raven had a really damn good reason, I don't think Yang will go out of her way to win her over and make her actually act like a mother to her.

2. To be honest, volume 2's after credits scene seems to have just been a dream that didn't really happen, with Yang's imagination going wild in guessing "What if the woman who saved me was my mom?" The show pretty much acts like the scene didn't happen, especially since Yang only mentions seeing her once and didn't correct Qrow when he guessed that Raven didn't say anything to her. Even still, Yang's reaction in the dream fits with what I said about Yang only wanting to find out why Raven left. Her eyes turned red like she was angry and about to start demanding answers.

3. I think you got kinda confused and backwards about the volume 4 scene where Qrow and Raven were talking. Qrow is searching for the Maidens, Raven is searching for the Relics. She doesn't know where Beacon's Relic is, but Qrow thinks that she knows where the Spring Maiden is. She knows that Qrow knows where Beacon's Relic is, and she wants to make sure that Salem doesn't have it because she knows that if Salem gets the Relics, it'll mean trouble. She's interested in making sure her tribe is safe, and if Salem gets a Relic, they won't be safe.

4. I think her behavior is due to being raised by the bandit tribe. As she grew up, they taught her their views and values, they taught her that the strong live while the weak die. They live by attacking towns and villages to steal what they need, and they probably feel that if they care enough to save someone, that's a weakness, since they can get dragged down by the person they're saving.

The real question is: Why doesn't Qrow share this view? The bandits raised both him and Raven. He has rejected them for their lifestyle, but Raven still believes in their lifestyle. Was it his time at Beacon that led him to realize there's a better way to live, without murdering people? Or did something else happen?

5. Believe it or not, people have actually theorized in the past that Raven might have had another daughter, instead of just Yang, and maybe that daughter is Yang's twin. I suppose it's possible, since Yang herself said Tai wouldn't tell her everything, but it raises the question of why she took the other one and left Yang.
