Tyrian: True. He doesn't know anything about Jaune at this point other than he's interesting

Yeah so far he has no reason to tell Salem as from what Tyrian knows so far Jaune is of no concern to her. True. I don't think he mistook Jaune for Ozpin.

We know for a fact that Hazel knows Ozpin but couldn't tell Oscar was with him. Or he did but Salem's plan is to let Ozpin rally his forces and meet Leo so she can get them all at the same time.

Qrow's fighting style is still completely built on his weapon. He wasn't doing any fancy moves, just punching. Agreed as we can guess from their fighting styles Weiss and Blake would be pretty useless without their weapons. That might change for Weiss though once she masters her semblance but that depends if she really needs her sword to channel it or not. I'm guessing not.

Yeah both Aura and the eyes can project the soul so there might be some kind of relation between that and their emotions.

Aura: Yeah. I've heard that people think he has a reflective semblance that redirects the attack right back at the attacker. I think it's possible that he put up some kind of aura shield around himself and Cardin punched that. It would be like punching a brick wall or something.

The first theory doesn't work so well as they were already sheltering him so they could have continued to do so but with him being trained.

The second one makes more sense. Like you said maybe he had a bad experience with someone being cocky before and wanted to avoid it. He still would have had to earn his power though if he was trained but he wouldn't have known what it was like to be weak. I could see that being the case as it fits the whole wizard of Oz theme. Jaune was weak and wanted to become strong. So he overcomes many trials on his way to the Emerald city (Beacon) to meet the wizard (Ozpin) but the strength he sought was with him all along. He even befriends Dorthy (Ruby). In my opinion out of all the characters so far Jaune has had the most wizard of Oz like experience so far.

It might be Joan of Arc lore but as we've seen many times RT doesn't take a lot from the source material. Yeah the staying hidden and going out into the world under fake surnames seems like an interesting idea.

True.

Qrow and Tai: True. In all honesty I think Tai would be furious with Ozpin. Ozpin cost Tai his wife and didn't protect his daughters with what happened at Beacon so he definitely wouldn't want to lose Ruby and Yang too. I could see Tai being upset that Qrow is enabling Ozpin and putting his daughters in danger. I'm sure Tai can understand that it's for the sake of the world but he's probably heard that speech before and Ruby and Yang are still kids.

Raven's Semblance: I see. I'll check it out then to see if there are any theories that strike a cord which me. The whole vision thing is make a lot of sense though.

Ozpin letting Jaune sink or swim: He wouldn't have had to do the worst twice. Just once and re word it. I think they didn't want to hurt Jaune's honor as by standing up for him would have made it seem like Jaune couldn't stand up for himself which was the case at first.

Yeah so what was it about Jaune that made Ozpin look up.

True. He did need to let them know how Cinder got so strong though and what was Jaune seeing when Pyrrha got into that machine. Jaune's wouldn't have let that question go unanswered.

Oscar and Jaune: I watch Chibi as it has some really funny crack moments. Yeah it was odd that he mentions a farmer being his backup of all things. Not only is it tough but you'd have to live outside the kingdoms I would assume. The compost king thing could have been a reference to Oscar but from what we've seen Oscar desire a life beyond a farm.
