2) hearing that her death was instigated by Ozpin making her a maiden without their consent. 1) What point would there be in seeing that though? We already have Jaune grieving over Pyrrha, and to a lesser extent, Ruby. All seeing them would do is serve as padding, and make Jaune and Ruby more upset. And considering Jaune was already upset enough to both charge at Cinder (Who he knows is out of his league) and attempt to kill her via decapitation (Old!Jaune wouldn't have considered killing someone), I don't think he needed to be anymore upset.

2) They wouldn't hear about that. Not only is the existance of the Maiden's suppossed to be secret (Meaning you don't tell two civilians), but as Qrow put it,  " We explained the situation and gave her the choice, and she chose.",  regardless of it only being the illusion of choice, it still wouldn't make it seem like she was forced into. Plus, she was 17 already, which in some locations is Legal Adult Age. If the same holds for Remnant, they wouldn't need anyone's consent but Pyrrha's.
