I can definitely relate with Weiss, from what we've seen of her, and I hope we get a closer look at her background in the 2nd volume. That being said, we're reading way too far into a few throwaway jokes. Most of the episode was light-hearted and humorous: Ruby referenced several real-world speeches, Jaune got thrown into a window before the real fight even started, everyone beat everyone else up for the hell of it. There were a few jokes at Weiss' expense, but the same goes for Yang and Blake as well.

Weiss is an emotionally complex and fragile character, and we've seen what happens when she gets pushed too far, but I doubt she's going to truly be at odds with her team from here on out - at least, not to the extent she was in the first volume. For instance, look back at the fight and see well she and Ruby work together during the fight. I think a major reason to kick off the volume with that food fight was to show how both teams, especially RWBY, have grown over the course of the semester.
