Once the White Fang goons showed up, it was either risk losing their tail or follow them first and contact the team later. Her choices are understandable.

2. The area was low signal, so not only Team RWBY but Dr. Oobleck as well has no real way to contact anyone. Then let Weiss be pissed. It's still what your supposed to do. I'm not a veteran alas, but I'm pretty sure in boot camp they teach you that if you leave the foxhole at night you tell the person you're sharing it with. Always. Then again, they haven't fought a war in 80 years so...

The low signal area seemed to be underground, which is understandable. I'd think if you sent a recon team out you'd make sure they had a way to call in. Although with the Schizo tech Remnant seems to have (airships with apparent anti-gravity, advanced robots, yet no security cameras anywhere and people still using swords in battle) I suppose it's possible their only means to communicate is the local cellphone network.
