And... how on earth would Blake or Weiss or Yang recognize Cinder? None of them has seen her before; Blake didn't know shit about the White Fang cooperating with humans, so she likely left befoer Cinder showed herself.

Ruby not recognizing Cinder is completely understandable. It was night time, her upper body was completely shrouded by shadow, and the enemy had glowing runes covering most of her body. More importantly, the figure she fought had looked mature. The eyes glow with fire.

The current Cinder is wearing a school uniform pretending to be just another student, with all the obvious signs (runes, symbols, even her mature atmosphere was someone subdued) covered. Her eyes were golden, sure, but then she should've suspected Blake if that's the case, right?

I'm surprised Ruby even noticed something familiar. Overall, Cinder did a passable cover-up in my opinion. She did not slip up at all when she saw Ruby (or forgot all about her already).
