1. No, Pyrrha was always supposed to die at that moment. They had her death planned since the beginning - Sheena was sitting on a photomanip cosplay of herself dressed as both Cinder and Pyrrha enacting that scene.

Originally they were going to have her death be Jaune's fault somehow, but they nixed that idea (thankfully).

3. Apparently Cinder's semblance is telekinetic manipulation of dust and sand (ordinary dust, not the magic elemental Dust), which she combines with Fire Dust to turn into glass. We're waiting on a citable source before we can add it onto the wiki however.

The rest of it is really wishful thinking. Pyrrha's dead and can't come back except through some magical resurrection stuff, but she was specifically turned into embers - as in, glowing ash. They did that as a way to say "Look, she's dead, see her ashes floating away?" but everyone decided it had to be some magical transportation instead. She even slumped and stopped breathing and died before she got turned into ashes.
