(In reply to the actual theme of this thread, I'd be amazed if Ruby didn't know Yang was looking for her mother.) I think it had something to do with the whole "Raven ambushing Team JNPR for no plausible reason" thing, which would've made her look petty in my opinion. Her actions against Neo were perfect, drove her off and then departed without a word, to me she doesn't seem the type to waste her energy on pointless battles.

Though considering what happened in the Volume 4 opening, it seems Raven will indeed get involved, much to Qrow's displeasure. How she'll get involved is unknown, hopefully something more substantial than smacking around a first-year team for no reason. If she goes after Ruby then Qrow will indeed intercept her, I'd say the reason he's done nothing to stop her is because she's never directly interfered with his agenda. Though if that changes in the next volume, who can say.

As for your last point, there's been nothing to indicate Ruby even knows of Raven's existence, let alone who she really is. And she won't until Yang, Qrow, or possibly Raven herself tells her, as unlikely as that may be.
