You do pose really good questions.

Though, since Cinder is posing as a student from another school, I suppose training sessions are optional for the exchange students, since it may not be Beacon's responsibility to oversee their actual training and sparring. After all, there might be some differences between how the academies' sparring class professors handle their lessons. Meanwhile, they may have some consistency in the actual book-learning part of the students' education and can therefore continue that for the exchange students for the time being.

As for how she's going to handle no one recognizing her fighting style and such... I suppose she's gonna have to either

a) Have another trick up her sleeve for avoiding showing that her usual technique is lava Dust + obsidian. Perhaps her fighting in the tournament could consist solely of using the Dust crystals that are scattered around.

b) She, Em, and Merc sneak away from the tournament during the time frame of all the other competitors' fights.

Assuming they won't go with the usual "Oh no, a tournament style thing is interrupted by the antagonist's plan!" anime trope, Option A could work. As for how she'll initiate her plan if she stays at the tournament... we have the White Fang, Neo, and the possibility that she could activate the virus in the CCT via her scroll.
