I only say she didn't want Lil' Miss to lose her patience and report her for the hell of it. Lil' Miss did have her limits to how much fighting could occur in her bar. That, and she likely didn't actually care much about this fight and was only putting the bare minimum effort into holding off Neo, hence the CQC and rather poor showing. That, and Neo still didn't cause ANY SIGNFICANT DAMAGE throughout the whole fight, and Cinder was mostly just responding. Only when she left the bar did she decide to go on the offensive, and even then, what she said right after indicated she really didn't want to keep fighting because it was a waste of time. As for the tornado, the alley was slightly more secluded.

As for Weiss, the expression on hers and Ruby's face indicate this was the first time she had ever done this and it was just a neat trick, and Myrtenaster clearly has chutes/channels to release dust, so why couldn't she use it that way? That, and it was so fine and delicate to the point of being useless in battle, not really the same as HER OTHER APPLICATIONS, which do require glyphs. This wasn't using her semblance, but her weapon. GET THAT THROUGH YOUR HEAD.
