When you think about it, her being a Maiden would explain how she knows Qrow without needing some more cliché explanation. It would especially make sense if we presume the name Summer Rose was also not a coincidence. As far as being left out of the loop, perhaps they have other reasons for that. Maybe the other Maidens are not aware of what happened to Amber or at least not all of what happened. The only reason they told Pyrrha is because they want her to be the one who takes on Amber's mantle.
