So presuming that they manage to restrain the Winter Maiden and drag her to the Vault, and that she doesn't have to do anything special beyond putting her hand on the door, this part isn't really that much of a problem.

The rest of your post, I do agree with. The previous Spring Maiden was a runaway who couldn't take the pressure. He was probably right that she would have been easy to strong arm into helping them. Unless the Winter Maiden is a newbie or not known to them yet, it is fair to say she is not in the same situation as Spring and Fall. Ironwood would want her to be well-trained and disciplined, as well as being kept very close after everything that has happened. Not likely that such a person would easily be isolated and pressured into cooperating. Even if they tried to threaten someone else, such a person would likely try to turn the tables. Pulling all that off in the midst of everything else that would have to happen seems like a stretch.
