Monty didn't replay to anything else saying which way his answer meant, so we're stuck in the middle ground of that maybe she is or maybe he couldn't confirm or deny anything. The problem with that is that, if Monty doesn't want to answer to a theory, he either doesn't reply at all or replies with something to the nature of "You'll find out more in the show," like he did whenever people asked why Ruby and Yang are sisters with different last names.

So, him saying "100% nope" is him saying it to the theory, not whether or not he'll say anything about it. If he didn't want to say anything about the theory, he seriously would not have replied to the tweet at all.

Also, the crew has actually straightup said that Cinder isn't too much older than the Beacon students. Considering students graduate at 21 years old, she's at most not too much older than early 20s.
