1) She did turn towards Ruby, completely. The flash hit her directly in front of her.

2) The "WHATTTT?!" did not show discomfort at all. Unless you have some weird definition of "discomfort". What Cinder did show when she said that, was astonishment, surprise, and some anger. But nothing that said "damage" or "pain".

Actually, the way you mention all this sounds more like you're mixing the time she was flashed in the Battle of Haven, with back when Pyrrha died.

1. look again, seriously, timestamp 10:15-10:30, Volume 3's finale, on this very Wiki's page, the shot is Pyrrha facing Cinder(it looks like Cinders right is facing the camera), then it pulls back to reveal that the shot is actually the mirrored image behind Ruby's eyelid(so it was reversed), then the CAMERA moves to show the dragon, then when the camera is facing Cinder again nothing behind her was behind the image Ruby saw because it is not the same direction, it is instead looking at Cinder from the same direction Pyrrha was previously facing, towards the debris now clearly in the background, and Cinder is facing directly towards the camera until the image whites out, not looking at Ruby.

2. It showed "irritation", it would not have shown pain because the pain occurs as the wave hits her(when the screen whites out), just as the wave did not show it petrify the dragon in the previous shot.
