You assume that Qrow is some towering figure that the Black Hats would be looking to find and eliminate but there seems to be no reason to believe that is true. So long as he has remained discreet, there is no reason to assume that they think he is anything but a teacher at Signal who takes strangly long leaves of absence whenever he can. That's assuming that they're aware of him at all, an assumption that cannot currently be supported.

To me, the idea of Qrow busting into the fortress's control room and there being a: "Who are you?" "Call me... Qrow!" "Who?" conversation would be both funny and good writing.

Regarding Yang's mother, there is such a thing as 'missing, presumed dead'. Additionally, she may have been declared dead but Yang isn't willing to accept it yet. However, if she's under deep cover, Ozpin and the Council may not be at liberty to inform Taiyang and Yang that she's still alive.
