I'm gonna guess that they won't answer any of those three. Lindsay said we'll learn about Ruby's parents in volume 2. That definitely earns a "You'll find out in the show" from Monty, if Summer Rose is the white cloaked figure and Ruby's mom, and if we'll find out how Ruby and Yang are blood-related from learning about their parents.

As for Penny, I'm pretty sure we'll see more of her in volume 2.
