She's a sly one and doesn't reveal all her cards. The dress was a good cover for people to automatically assume the fire came from. The popcorn incident was small and wouldn't be that noticable in a crowded arena, if Mercury and Emerald don't know then they could come up with their own ideas about where it comes from, though mostly it was a way to hint at the fact she really did have control over fire. Your assumption on Aura is wrong. You can use Semblance when your Aura is down. Grimm Eclipse proved that.
