And in what world is the wicked stepmother a noble?
Depends on the version, many have Cinderella and both her birth and step family being nobles which adds to the humiliation of Cinderella being a servant.
Also, why would be the stepmother invited to a royal ball if she wasn't a noble?
I would have liked for the different gendered types of royalty to get their own subtypes, considering they still use terms like "King" and "Queen" in card names, but I expected that they'd go the gender-neutral route. Only, instead of Royal we got Noble, which is technically an incorrect term for royalty as nobility is a class below royalty in the traditional peerage hierarchy, but it conveys the concept of "high born" well enough, I suppose.
It's about as correct as calling Giant Solifuge an Insect, or calling pterosaurs Dinosaurs, I guess.
- A creature card is put into any graveyard from anywhere ("other than the battlefield" is redundant since it is already taken into account in the first case)
If they didn't put "other than the battlefield" there, it would cause confusion. If a creature dies, does the ability trigger twice, once for creature dying, and once for creature card hitting the graveyard? My guess is that test players were either playing it wrong, or worse, inconsistently, and so they clarified it as much as possible.
Well, now that's a great news for me. MaRo says that the new cards are over 80% while reprints around 15%. So, since this set have 254 cards, that means that the reprints are no more than 40 cards basically, while the rest is all new. That's a pretty crazy percentage of new stuff for a supplemental set actually and explains also why this time they didn't choose to separate new cards from reprints in the number crunch list (since they are almost all new cards).
If that is the case, I'm excited for the 5% not covered by either.

Klothys sounds a lot like Clotho, one of the Fates.

No, that wouldn't work. This is "intervening if" trigger -- if you don't satisfy the condition, it won't trigger.
