What do I think of your wall of text? It's flabby, with inductions for headcannon(s) and a Necropost. What I liked:

Cinder is trying to win the tourniment to make Ozpin look incompetant and senile at running Beacon, to further compuound his weakened position at the end of breach.

Cinder and dust. The current consensus is that cinder uses Lava dust that she uses to make obsidian (a type of glass). However cinder has been shown several times to release heat/fire without dust's signature glow (making her semblance similar to Nora's i.e. channeling & controlling heat instead of eletricity). This means that cinder is more formidable when burn and lava dust is avalable as both play into her semblance.
