Yang insulted Raven for no good reason? The mother she hasn't seen since the day she was born starts praising her for beating the crap out of people, then has the audacity to invite her to dinner as if there wasn't 17 years of seperation between them, was insulted for no good reason. Hell, one of the first lines Raven says to Yang is

Raven : ( removing her mask ) Yang. So, after all this time you finally decided to visit me.

Notice the word "you" in that sentence. She is laying the blame for Raven's lack of interaction with Yang on Yang herself, despite the fact Yang has been searching for her since she was a kid. Raven is, as you said, condescending. But she is also very infuriating to deal with. Notice the hypocrisy in her family comment. She says they only come when they need something, and yet the only reason she even bothers to see Qrow is to trade information, and outright ditched him when he had no info on the Relic of Choice. Then there is the fact she called Ruby a lost cause. Yang we all know is extremely temperamental, and belittling Ruby is one of the few things that can send her immeadiently into "Done with this shit" mode. She only insulted Raven after she called Ruby a lost cause and indirectly insulted Qrow. And she only demanded after Raven pretty much told her to get lost. Before then, she said it, but it was more a declaration than a demand. Had Raven been willing up front, the situation wouldn't have escalated. But because of her condescending attitude followed by pissing her 17 year old powder keg of anger daughter off and telling her to fuck off, Yang demanded it.

Plus, regardless of what Tai taught Yang, there is a big difference between learning something, and actually following it. So far, Yang has had only four interactions shown since leaving Patch: With the ship crew, the Gas Station attendent, Shitty McDouche Bandit (Who, btw, I only saw as a tertiary character and nothing more, his most significant feature being the fact he shares Katsuki Bakugou's dub voice actor), and Raven, half of which pissed her off, and one of which she doesn't seem to have interacted with outisde of departing the boat. If you told someone not to insult a person that angers you, but the first person they meet after practicing that insults their mother, do you expect them to follow through on what they learned? Nothing is instantaneous, it needs trial and error, along with self restraint, two factors Yang does not have.

Now, as for Yang being dead in a normal situation.... 'She wouldn't be, the bandits would. 'This isn't an overestimation either. It has been made painfully clear that aside from Vernal and Raven, all of the bandits suck ass. Shitty McDouche Bandit and his group didn't seem to have even unlocked their aura, and the guy she punched into Weiss' cage was beaten with little fanfare. The only reason Raven's tribe is probably even a threat is because of Raven and Vernal. Plus, you even note that if the Grimm showed up, those idiots would probably not survive. Yang has shown to be able to kill an Ursa with a single punch if angered enough, and as we saw, took down seven bandits on her own without breaking a sweat. So 30 something bandits versus one Yang? Yang would slaughter them. She's even done it before, with Junior's goons. There were dozens of those punks, who also went down with only one hit, and she took them and Junior down easily. The only ones who really gave her a problem were the Malachite Twins, namely Melanie due to Melanie's kick based fighting, a style Yang has proven less adaptable with. If anything, Raven being there saved the Bandits from ending up a gooey paste.

With Weiss running in heels..... Have you not heard of the trope called Combat Stiletto's? It's a controversial trobe, but one none the less. If anything, Weiss' are better as her heels instead of being normal are Wedge Heels, offering more surface area for her feet to touch the ground. Besides, Weiss isn't the only character to fight in heels. Glynda, Cinder, Pyrrha, Amber, all of them wore heels.
