I'm fairly certain they confirm in the credits that it was Raven by stating her voice actor. And that they talk about it being her in a few of the commentaries.

Now to address points. I am working with the dream theory in these ones, and the scene has the same hazy effect that Yang's nightmare about Adam in Family did.

"We have a lot to talk about". Common psychological thing, really; Yang really wants to learn why Raven left. It's why she is looking for her and has been for so long. Yang wants answers. So of course dream Raven is going to give them to her; her mind plays out the scenario as Yang wants it to happen.

She doesn't know Raven, doesn't know what kind of person she is or how she acts or even what she actually sounds or looks like at the present time. The only thing she knows is that Raven is her biological mum, and that Qrow has an old picture of Raven from her youth. So of course Raven isn't going to act the same in the dream as she does in real life. She's going to act according to Yang's wishes; and Yang wishes for information. So dream Raven will give it to her.

Raven's looks. If you notice something about the Raven from that scene, it is that she is practically an exact model of Yang. She has a recoloured version of Yang's hair, her face is almost exactly the same, her model is almost exactly the same. What is different is the shape of their eyes (slightly) and Raven's clothes, which are things Yang would have seen from the picture and remembered.

Compare dream Raven to real Raven. As I said before, Yabg doesn't know Raven, so her mind filled in the gaps with what she does know; Yang is her daughter and therefore Yabg should look something like Raven. So her mind made Raven look like Yang for the purpose of the dream.

And honestly, the secret twin sister (while potentially interesting story wise) would feel overdone when shoved in alongside the secretly!leader!of!a!murderous!tribe mother, sister!who!is!mystical!warrior Ruby, uncle!who!is!acting!leader!of!a!secret!group!fighting!secret!evil!big!bad!and!trying!to!save!the!world Qrow, and father!who!has!gone!through!severe!depression!following!the!abandonment!of!one!love!and!death!of!the!other Taiyang.
