I think he was just dissing Winter because she's in league with Ironwood, I highly doubt they'd seen one another before that episode. Though I wouldn't be surprised if they butted heads once again somewhere down the road.

As for Salem and Ozpin, I'm more leaning towards they're the last magicians on Remnant, the sole survivors of a forgotten war that annnihilated their people. Salem wanted to defend the magicians from extinction, but Ozpin, knowing their age was coming to an end, enacted some sort of doomsday device that wiped out both sides. Naturally Salem was livid at him for what he'd done, which was essentially genocide. Though Ozpin merely replied, "I did what I had to do," and walked off into the distance. Salem grew vengeful, and from her hatred were born the Grimm, something along these lines anyway.
