Tyrian's interest: At this point it could be any reason since he doesn't operate like other characters. He only had a couple seconds to actually decide Jaune was worth noticing for whatever reason. I don't think aura sensing (assuming that Tyrian is doing that) is something everyone just does on a whim. Pyrrha only sensed it when she was unlocking it. We don't know if it can be done outside that although I suspect Ozpin can. One of the theories I saw about Tyrian also thought he could sense traces of auras to the point he could track them. But if he has poor eye sight it begs the question why he couldn't sense Qrow faster.

I'm still puzzled how a lot of things happened early in the show. For example Glynda is suspicious of Jaune and this is going on while their watching RWBY/JNPR. The whole thing is being monitored so doesn't that mean Pyrrha unlocking Jaune's aura should be recorded? Glynda should have known that Jaune wasn't trained just from that. The only way around this would be Ozpin making sure no one saw that footage. Where it was on a delay or something else so he could make sure no one else saw it.

I think the king was using at least one Relic. You mean you don't think the King/Jaune's family have their auras unlocked?

I think Ozpin has been using Jaune and Pyrrha to an extend. From a writing story point the Maiden storyline wasn't conceived yet so back in vol. 1 so Ozpin would probably be more concerned about Jaune when Glynda expresses concerns about the partnership. My theory that Ozpin knows something about Jaune is important and like bending the rules for Ruby he did the same with Jaune. Based on Jaune's lack of knowledge despite coming from a line of heroes I think his parents are overprotective. If that's the case then he wouldn't know about Beacon much less how to get in unless he had help.

Jaune didn't know: Aura, that students made their own weapons, who Pyrrha was, never heard of the championships she won or her school.

I definitely think Ozpin had a hand in Jaune being there one way or another. I'm not sure how Ozpin expected Jaune to be saved without help. If he was relaying on Pyrrha it'd at least makes sense if he did his research. Pyrrha was lonely and sick of people only seeing her as a champion. Jaune, assuming he was isolated from all things Huntsmen related, would be ignorant of her and was eager to make friends. Ozpin is known for the whole chess thing so maybe he'd go to lengths. Regardless he was far too calm when Jaune is freaking out.

Where the Arcs are from: Weiss is from Atlas and went to Beacon to get away from her family. Sun is from Vacuo although I have idea why he went to Mistral. Although I agree with why he can't be from some regions. Ruby and Yang live on an island so maybe he does too? I wondered if he told his family where he was going or if they think he's dead. After telling Pyrrha how his parents don't believe in him I can't see him going back or leave Ren/Nora behind. I'm not even sure how JNR got in contact with Ruby.

You mean at the campfire scene? If he did it was offer screen but Ruby 's narrative over Ozpin's cane kind of implies they know. If not then he might have told them later.

I think so too but really I think Jaune was the best choice out of JNPR. He got every one to work together and Pyrrha tends to be more of a follower. She pinned Jaune to a locker when Weiss asked despite liking Jaune. One of the darker theories I've seen was that one of the reasons she was picked to be a maiden was because she would be easier to control.

I meant the artistic clue might be the hair style not that they are blood related. In other words I don't see any other potential clues that their connected in the show. Basically the only thing we have is ideas from the WOR.

Ending the monarchy: Sure, I have a few ideas. The king probably knew it would be hard to maintain a monarchy after he died given the state of the world. Salem would be a big factor and whoever was in charge would be an easy scapegoat for her plans. If it's the same line of merged souls as Ozpin the king will likely have no idea who he'll be in the next life. He probably won't be in power, at least for awhile, making it harder to mentor the next in line. There's no guarantee their listen anyway. All his efforts would be for nothing if the wrong person were in charge.

The king might have also seen a flaw in how the different kingdoms functioned and had too much power granted to individuals. So by getting rid of the old system he's making the government more unified while doing what he thinks will make things harder for Salem. If he had heirs this would also allow them the chance to escape the spotlight and any enemies he has.

If he kept things the way they were in all the kingdoms the same thing might happen down the line. If he ruled everyone like they wanted it would be an harder effort. In a war partly based on snuffing out self expression and slavery there would be some concerned with one person/family being in charge of everyone. Instead he championed ideas of unity, kept the Relics separated and did the best he could to ease tensions.
