So I've been thinking about both your points, after a good long sleep!

Oh and regarding the reason Pyrrha went back, yes she had reason I don't know if they were enough to die for... it wouldn't be the assumption she can stop cinder because she knows how strong Cinder is ... and biding a little more time doesn't quite justify her recklessness ... the only real reason then is a sense of responsibility and even then she knows it's a losing battle ...

Going back to Cinder vs Ospin, she went after the maidens powers alone... lets say she instead told Emerald and Mercury to assist her rather than continue recording... they already have footage of beacons distruction and of the atlas bots turning against vale...

Therefore would she not be better off not taking any risks? She would surely be aware there's chance she might have to face Ospin alongside Pyrrha as a half maiden by the time she arrives to claim the rest of the power?

As for whether in my scenario Pyrrha would be a better target at the point of arrival, yes that's true unless that moment where Jaune rushes to her side during the transfer, he instead stands in front of her effectively becoming a barrier...

In my mind Ospin then becomes the most logical target so as to take advantage of a surprise attack... Now If any of them try to strike down Jaune to get to Pyrrha, I think Ospin as much as he's concentrating on the transfer would very likely take notice and since he wasn't caught by a surprise attack, would be in a much better position to stand in their way...

So combine being caught by a surprise attack where it's effectively 3 against 1 (with one being a half maiden and another that enduces hallucinations) and I think that evens out the playing field quite considerably...

P.S. if I ever decide to write fanfiction I'll have to get you two to proof read!!!
