1. She is able to use multiple types of Dust, thanks to a rotating feed chamber on her Myrtenaster. Therefore if I was to mention all types of Dust she would use in a fight against Magentos I'd have to describe each kind of Dust, and each way she could possibly use them and how Magentos would neutralise that technique. This would make the "Summary" too long. Way too long.

Therefore I simply assume that you have watched the anime and know her fighting style. You could have just watched the White trailer and you should know how she uses Dust. I am making use of your preconception of her skills to Summarize the fight description.

2. I tried focusing the fight description on Magentos, and his fighting style, since Weiss is already well known. As described (Also developed further in the thread about OC creation and Semblance creation) his strengths are his intelligence and strategic ability. He is also a master fighter - both weaponless and with SilverThorn. He has a healthy amount of speed, although not outstanding, possibly somewhat above Weiss' own speed. When she uses her Glyphs to move around faster, her movement speed is highly above Magentos, but her rapier wielding speed is still the same (Lower than Magentos) Making her an ideal opponent to display his counter-attacking capabilities.

And while her Dust usage is quite advanced, he is able to predict how she'll use it and will prepare himself accordingly to avoid or counter her usage of Dust. And his semblance will make this ability even faster and more precise. To Magentos it's a chess game, and the entire fight is simply a path towards check mate.

3. There is no way she can defeat Magentos, at the end of the day as ACWeapons said...He is a 4th year student, she's a 1st year. He has more skill and experience than her. And experience is where the emphasis is for this fight, since Magentos is not known for his physical attributes, but rather his intellect, the difference in experience would make a HUGE difference.
