Suddenly finding yourself in another body that's been impaled with an arrow would be pretty shocking, and I said that the entity might be disoriented. In fact, it is possible she would expect it. One thing about having Amber's Aura in her body is that it might give her a connection to Amber's body that she could have noticed right before her body was incinerated. Pyrrha could have realized that too late to save herself, but was still prepared for that outcome. This is also assuming the arrow was still in Amber's chest as if it was made of Dust it could have disintegrated.

It also seems pretty likely that Amber's body would be relatively weak, even if she hadn't been shot with an arrow, given her comatose state.

This was gone over before, but basically if the pod was meant to keep Amber in stasis that it may have also been preventing any weakening of the body. In addition, Aura could help reverse any weakening that might have occurred.

If Amber was in the driver's seat, she'd suddenly be awke in a strange place with an arrow in her chest without any idea what was going on.

So long as Pyrrha had some presence it is not hard to imagine her keeping Amber focused. You also can't discount that a huntress should be capable of getting herself oriented regardless of her condition. They are trained to go out and fight in untamed wilderness against an unknown mass of enemies using whatever resources at their disposal.

That said, the entire school was overun, and I'm fairly sure she'd be noticed. On top of that, someone, not Someone (I think), pointed out that the only safe way out of Beacon was by air.

It wouldn't be safe, but that does not mean a skilled huntress would not be perfectly capable of getting out regardless. All that would really matter is escaping however long it would take. Several times I pointed out that the freezing of that Grimm Dragon could have left the other Grimm disoriented themselves for a long enough time to make escape easier.

Finally, this entity has had at least weeks, probably months since the Battle of Beacon to show herself.

Circumstances are such that she may not have any desire to reveal herself unless necessary. I mean you are talking about someone who would remember being killed twice and previously being nearly killed to the point of being comatose. Also, I do allow that there may be some disorientation involved, just that it doesn't really kick in until after she gets out of survival mode.

And they specifically say the Fall Maiden powers are tied to the soul, don't they? So when Cinder stole Amber's powers, wouldn't she have been draining out Amber's soul too, which is why she was dying while Cinder did it?

It seems to me like the way Cinder stole the Fall Maiden powers drained Amber's soul from the visual effect that happened in both instances, so Amber's soul would be dragged alongside the Fall Maiden powers, which again have been specified to be tied to the Maidens soul, into Cinder. Even if Pyrrha did get a little bit, the majority would have gone to Cinder and therefore any Amber revivals would be in Cinder. At least, by my reckoning anyway.

I took the coloring to signify Maiden powers and not Aura so I figured that was all the similarity was meant to convey. They only suggested the Maiden powers would be tied to the Aura, but not that Aura is transferred under normal circumstances when the Maiden powers are passed on to another person. Cinder's absorption hurting Amber could just as easily be attributed to the nature of the process and the implied link to the Grimm rather than as any direct impact on Aura.

I'm pretty sure it was even mentioned in a commentary or dvd feature it was fan reaction that caused it.

There were only three episodes left in the series after her arc ended and its cancellation had already been announced before her arc started, so I am not sure that should be taken as a sign of support for the character. I don't have the DVDs, so I don't know about it being mentioned or not, but I don't see much cause for reading into her run-time some strong fan distaste for Illyria.
