As far as Ruby doing something, we have to remember she was in school - she had limited time to get all her work done AND search the towns (plus it seems they need permission to visit outside Beacon, much like in Harry Potter). Plus you not liking Ruby's outfit shouldn't be a bad point, because it's your opinion, not a fact.

And that's Sun's shtick; he's not really good with the rules and/or standard boundaries

Then the world-building? We're never really supposed to get the big picture all-at-once, but gradually - and that seems to be what they're doing
