She was able to hack Ironwood's Scroll because he put it on Ozpin's desk, which was connected to the CCT, thus allowing the Black Queen virus that Cinder had placed in the CCT to enter and infect Ironwood's Scroll through Ozpin's desk. It makes sense that Ozpin's desk would be infected because, at the end of Breach, he had his desk use the CCT to do a video call with Ironwood and the Vale Council.

Everyone in Remnant is born with Aura and has a potential Semblance. It's not that people think Whitley was born without them. It's that people think he hasn't had his Aura unlocked. In order to use Aura and Semblance, a person first has to have their Aura unlocked from within their soul, just like Pyrrha did to Jaune in volume 1.

By the way, if you look closely at the top of Watts' Scroll in The Next Step, you can see half of a fancy W in what looks like the same exact font that was seen on the screen of Cinder's Scroll. What I mean is, it looks like the same exact W is on Watts' Scroll when he has his Scroll closed. The only difference is that it's gold-colored instead of white, but that doesn't really matter much.
