I don't think it's her umbrella/parasol that caused the illusions.

Episode 4:

When Yang punched, bright blue/cyan waves radiated out from the center. I thought this was part of Neo's Semblance until I noticed Weiss made the same exact thing happen in No Brakes, after she drew a light blue circle in the air.

This means that the cyan circles are from a shield produced by some kind of Dust, maybe cyan Dust (since dark blue is the one that makes ice). So, that hole in the top of Neo's umbrella/parasol could be for releasing Dust when need be. The Dust was expelled from that hole, and she made it spread out across her umbrella/parasol with her Aura. Weiss had to actually take the time to draw a circle in the air with Myrtenaster, since she didn't have a circular surface for the Dust to spread over. Though, she could have made a glyph and done it that way, but eh.

Episode 11

I think Neo just shoved Yang away with her umbrella/parasol, rather than creating some kind of illusion. It wouldn't be the last time she hit Yang with her umbrella/parasol. After all, we have this moment where she pushed Yang away and knocked Yang's hand to the side just as Yang shot at her:
