I doubt that just about anyone we've seen in Remnant would have done better against Cinder than Oz, but she also knew this, and probably wasn't holding back. In the fight against Pyrrha, she seemed to be toying with her. Maybe if caught off guard someone else might have been able to deplete her Aura reserves, but at that point I see Cinder just creating a massive inferno in all directions, if she could, making it a lot harder to to deliver the final blow.

I think Qrow would have been killed.

We don't know what weapon she used, and Qrow and Ruby are seen as comparable in skill by Oz, with no other worthy mentions.

What does her using a scythe have to do with her faking her death?

I doubt that there is a corpse in that grave.

We are assuming that Summer is dead as all evidence, including how a song was described, says she's dead.

It seems like the consensus is that things hadn't been fully figured out in time for episode 1, so we mostly ignore that.

We have nothing saying that Salem approached Raven. It seemed more like Raven just wants to stay safe, and remain uninvolved.
