How would potions work in the setting of RWBY? There's absolutely nothing to suggest that potions could actually be a thing in RWBY. I'd accept Dust grenades, but not potions. Potions are more of a magic sort of thing, and actual "magic" doesn't exist in RWBY.

Yes, Dust seems "magical," but think about it this way: There are sci-fi stories that involve energy-filled crystals or rocks that are mined and used. Dust is simply crystals that are full of elemental energy, and people use the energy within themselves (Aura) to activate and use the energy inside of Dust. Though, we've been shown that powdered Dust is more volatile and can manifest its energy when disturbed, so Dust grenades are theoretically possible.
