A few points to disagree upon:

1) Ruby does not appear to 'kidnap' Ruby. It is entirely possible that they were being chased by something and got separated, and Ruby arrived in time to boost Penny out to safety zone. This is reinforced by the scene where Penny literally saves Ruby from being hit by a truck.

2) The so-called White Rose scene is very obviously fake. They already have a prom, so it's not hard to believe at all that they're practicing for a scene in drama.

A few things to add upon:

1) How Cinder acquired the mech is a mystery. However, judging from its battered appearance when they first showcased it to the White Fang, it is entirely possible that they had snatched it from either the Schnee, or Penny's faction.

But if the mech was given as a token of trust, then it reinforces the theory that Penny's faction is in cahoots with Cinder.

2) Roman is not friendly with Mercury or Emerald. He very likely does not enjoy Mercury's arrogant attitude, as he was halfway pulling his cane in a show of aggression until Cinder shows up.
