1) I'd suggest either making her Semblance something else that reflects her personality, and then have her use Fire Dust for her flaming attacks. But if you're really going all in with the fire motif, having a Semblance that allows the user to manipulate pre-existing flames might work well enough in conjunction with Fire Dust

2) My primary thought for the story is to change up the order of things. I came up with this on the fly, so it's not perfect, but maybe something like this as a rushed timeline. "Audrey practices with weapons in her back yard, her mother finds out and starts training her, dad finds out after maybe a week or two and the converation happens between Audrey's dad and mom leading to Audrey's being allowed to join the Huntress Academy. Training with mom continues until she's old enough to join. Either after a year or two of struggling through the lower-level-school classes or after only barely graduating the school, she finds she needs to train harder and learn more combat-oriented skills, so she takes up swordplay/a martial art outside of class." Story continues as normal from there. This means she starts the MA training at a reasonable age and if she starts training after or during her first year, she has enough time to become a black belt, if only just.

3) Great. Variety in your characters is what makes them interesting, and realistically people struggle to succeed in school. That particular way of acheiving your goal just needs a bit of tuning.
