Maybe the mission Summer went on was one where Summer and Qrow were sent to attack Salem's base and Summer got herself killed while Qrow survived (and Salem has since relocated, explaining why he doesn't know where she is now). Based on how it sounds, Salem maybe be mobile. Maybe she moves around between different safe houses to make her plans and execute them. Each time she wants to hurt a kingdom she likely calls the shots from a new locale so that if she's ever caught, like what Qrow probably did, then she switches locales after destroying that base to cover her tracks.

I agree with Someone, Ironwood is in the dark, but I bet Glynda hasn't met Salem in the flesh yet either. It's likely just Oz and Qrow. And likely Qrow only once.
