2) How, the fuck, would either of them know about anything specific she'd need to apologize for, and why the fuck would she apologize in the first place?

1. Don't be fooled by the mask she's wearing, she's trying really hard to act like her whole time with Tai never happened, but I daresay that's all it is, an act. You just don't forget over five or more years of a time happier than she ever spent in the tribe, the man she loved or the child she brought into the world. And once Tai and Yang find her, that mask of hers will start cracking, and denying them at that point will not dissaude them, just the opposite in fact.

And should it come down to her and Yang in combat, she'll be fighting both Yang along with her guilty conscience, as the memories of her previous life finally resurface, and she realizes Tai would be ashamed of what she's done. So she won't be able to focus completely on the fight, she'll be desperately trying to refute her daughter's accusations, but to no avail. She'll know the facts are against her, and realize that killing Yang will not prove her wrong. And if she does manage to  kill Yang, she'll be killing her last chance at redemption. And I severely doubt RT would write such an unbecoming end to Raven, who'll most likely be killed by Qrow in retribution later on down the road if she takes Yang's life.

2. If they're not even there, then it's a moot point. Though if Yang finds out Raven killed Ren and Nora's parents and left them to die, she will hold her accountable. I admit that's a big "if," but I can't see Yang looking the other way in that situation, nor would she let her mother look the other way anymore. She either changes, or dies, those are the rules.
