... both of which are (probably) unnecessary with her. Alright, changing my vote. Can you think of anything we would want to get out of the vamp though?
Some people seem to be under the mistaken impression that Dom is in a position of power here. Give her what she wants and get something in return or she will simply take what she wants and maybe Dom will only be severly scarred instead of dead.

I asked if what the Red Court's interest in the matter was, I just edited my original vote instead of posting a new one.

[X]Tell her the Truth
[X] Ask her for a basic primer of the supernatural world.
--[X] Specifically ask her what she knows about human magic users.
Asking about her personally is all kinds of risky. We need to know the power players of Detroit, and while it's pretty damn clear an Indian woman named Arjuna is all kinds of sketchy I'd rather IC actually know what the various threats we face are. Those reds we saw? If word spreads about a newly initiated mortal practitioner? That's not going to do us any favors. For better or worse we're actually going to wind up on the scene now, and we have absolutely no idea the people who could come at us right now.
She may be a red, I doubt it, but even if she is- the reds for all their issues can be trusted to play the system to their benefit for a little bit longer. And frankly, we have absolutely zero stake in keeping quiet about this.

Would more fall under asking what she knows about the white council and how magic works in the world. Along with the basics of supernatural society, we'd be learning more hints about whats going on in supernatural Detroit, nothing right out.
I think
falls more under what you where saying you wanted out of the exchange?

We need to know more about our backyard so we don't step on any landmines.

How so? She yanked us out of the blue, and has no qualms revealing the nature of her base. It's an expected question.
You can get a primer from just about anyone...and a primer from someone giving you the hard sell is going to be skewed badly enough that I would not trust a word of it.
At least if she lies about herself, the deception would also reveal what's thevimage she wants to present to the public

Because a primer on Detroit will give us at least a profile on her. And we know she's a major power player or she wouldn't have pulled it off.
Asking someone to describe themself to you is asking for them to manipulate your perception of them. And who's to say the face she presents to us is simply one of a dozen masks she wears as needed. The primer at the very least can be verified by others if it's remotely worthy of being called such- but there's no real way to get a deep impression of her that we can cross verify simply by what she tells us she is. If we were a better intriguer or skilled in reading people then yeah- let's play that game. But we're not Marcone the badass, we're not Nicodemus with centuries of reading mankind, we're not even Harry with his cunning and tenacity. We're a completely out of our depth bodyguard dipping his toe into the pool. Get the guide on how to swim, and use that guide to lead us to the other life guards so we can ask them the same questions we're indirectly asking her.
