1: The chant was likely metaphorical, not literal. Though her aura was used to unlock his, it is long since gone. Her protecting him was, once again, a metaphor. 2: The maiden power mever actually reached Pyrrha, the process was interupted before it reached her (as visible in the glow on the connecting lines.) 3: Ruby was remembering Pyrrha's death, triggered by hearing the recording. Dreams do that after experiencing a traumatic event. 4: Nothing happened to corcibly transfer her aura to either of them. 5: That was befote she died.

I'm on my phone so not gonna address everything; however she was not just ashes, she was ashes and embers which were still burning. It has also been confirmed that she was already dead when Cinder burned her body.

Pyrrha is dead, literally the most dead physically possible. If someone could reincarnate just from unlocking another person's aura there'd be hundreds of people walking around with two souls.
