1. "it doesn't tell why there's magic in a world of advanced technology"

Remnant was not always a world of advanced technology, you know. After the part where Salem tells us that man discovered Dust, it first shows people holding Dust crystals and channeling their energy to fire lightning from their hands, then shows people with swords, then shows people with guns. That is the evolution of combat. First, they used Dust crystals, then they found a way to forge melee weapons like swords, then they eventually found a way to create firearms.

Magic existed on Remnant long before technology did. By the way, Dust is not magic. Monty made a point to insist that Dust is not magic. He compared it to materia, from Final Fantasy 7. Materia is crystalized energy, basically. So, Dust is crystalized energy. What the Maidens and Silver-Eyed Warrios have is magic.

2. "does find it strange the schnee family has the only Hereditary semblance we know of"

They might not be the only ones. It could just be a genetic mutation that's passed down through the Schnee family. Or it could be that ancient Schnees had a habit of inbreeding to keep the family line "pure", like how royal families used to do in Europe. But that'd be messed up. Though, it would explain why every Schnee has white hair and blue eyes.

3. "the Grimm only attack humans and nothing else"

The Grimm attack humans, Faunus, and anything that humans and Faunus create. Faunus count under the term "mankind".

Right now, the only thing we can assume is that the Grimm target mankind because Salem wants to destroy mankind... for some unknown reason.

Of course there are unanswered questions. There's a reason the Volume 3 finale was titled End of the Beginning. Miles said so himself. Volumes 1-3 were the beginning of RWBY.
