Monty, Miles, and Kerry all three planned out the course of the story together, before they even began writing the script for Volume 1, so you're right that they know where the story is going from here.

Miles said that he was the one who came up with the story of the brother gods, while he was trying to sleep at home. He was so excited that he couldn't get back to sleep, so he drove back to work and told Monty and Kerry about it, and then the three of them spent the next few hours discussing it and adding to it.

We've also been told that the stuff with the Apathy Grimm was planned since the beginning.

Having the Maidens help him track down the other three Relics is a good idea, and I wouldn't be surprised if that really is why he did it. After all, one of the questions he asked Jinn was where the other Relics were, but he may not have had specific locations, just general areas to search through. But he may have given the Maidens their powers long before he asked Jinn those questions, so he could've been asking her where they are so that the Maidens could have an easier time finding them.

I do think that one possibility behind Jinn's answer of "You can't" is because the only way to defeat her is to get her to learn the importance of life and death like the God of Light said. Ozpin and so many others have been going about this all wrong, too focused on the idea of killing or destroying her, ending it with violence. It makes sense, of course, because Ozpin may not know about what the God of Light told Salem about her immortality. Team RWBY, however, know because Jinn showed them what happened, so maybe Ruby will figure it out.
