They likely did not teach Bayonetta the Umbran Arts. The Elder explicitly says 'She must be kept from the Dark Arts forever!' in the intro. She also says something similiar before Bayo and Jeanne fight for the Umbran Throne, but Jeanne dismisses her. We could use this as evidence to say that Jeanne was likely her mentor in the Umbran Arts. The Clan did not, as the Elder says so. Rosa couldn't, as she was both imprisoned and binded with chains that dramatically reduced her power. This leaves it to self-teaching and Jeanne teaching her.

Bayonetta wasn't born with the Left Eye. The strongest of the Umbra leads the clan and/or gains the Eye. The fight between Bayo and Jeanne was to determine if Jeanne would inherit the leadership and the eye. Since Bayonetta won, however, she inherited the Left Eye. But due to her illegal existence, she didn't inherit the Throne.
