Ren's I cannot explain, but maybe that's their territory. You know there are snakes who guards their territory zealously (A kind of cobra would kill all of their siblings the moment they're out of their eggs, so that one territory will only have one of its kind), so the moment Ren was there it was already considered a provocation.

Yang was making a lot of noise, and she found herself some Grimm instead. I'm pretty sure that if you meet a Grizzly down the road and you shout out like her, it'll attack you as well.

Jaune and Pyrrha provoked the Deathstalker; there's no point discussing how 'far' it travelled to hunt down the trespassers. For all we know that's a normal cycle of its life.

Wolves hunt in packs, and they usually take on easy/weaker prey. The moment Ruby went away (I'm so self-aware I don't even notice my new partner's getting ganked), the Beowolves jumped on Weiss who looked to be the easier, isolated prey. Ruby did reveal her Semblance after all - if I could choose I wouldn't pick her as a prey as well, takes too damn long and much effort to catch her.

And for your last question, the answer is yes. It's life. Get too close to danger without preparation and it's your own fault you get killed. It's like walking down a back alley - you know there's a gang down there but you still chose to walk it, so who is there to blame but you? It's not like they met the Grimm in the city suddenly where it's not supposed to be there (yet), and the professors gave clear warning right from the start.
