I'll just list off a few things that have been revealed outside of the show here, to help clear anything up.

The Schnee's are the only ones with a truly genetic semblance. Parents can influence their child's semblance in the same way they influence the child's personality, but it will not be a gentic thing but rather born from having a similar personality. In this case, it will also not be the same thing as the parent's semblance.

Raven's eyes actually don't change in the scene; they are the same colour throughout. The confusing thing is that you only see a tiny bit of her eyes while she's wearing her mask, so the colours seem off because the surroundings are different.

Monty has stated that Raven's "power" is very convenient. We don't know if this is her semblance or not, as he used to word power, not ability or semblance.

Neo didn't try to take Raven down because she knew she was outclassed; the first swing Raven took at her Neo barely dodged, and she was hit by the second. Neo may be strong in her own way, but Raven is on a whole other level and Neo knew it.
