1: They're minor characters from Pegasi-centric episodes. Cloudchaser and Flitter appear to be just roommates but may be sisters. Thunderlane and Rumble act as a brother-like relationship, but I don't think pegasi are raised by their families or in family structures. Maybe they're raised in "chapterhouses". Think along the lines of the four Hogwarts ones or the six Gallifreyan ones. Only since birth.

2: They may be sisters, cousins, aunt and niece, half-sisters, half-aunt and half-niece, or so distantly related that even as Earth Ponies or Unicorns they would'nt be considered related\family to each other.

3: They're BG ponies as the race in itself was'nt the focus of the scenes. They were acting as PLACEHOLDERS and some of the big sisters were also in the crowd. This means some "Dinky Doo"'s are sisters to "Amethyst Star"'s while others are the daughters of a "Golden Harvest" and a "Written Script" - and others are daughters to "Derpy Hooves"-es. If the race were the focus of the episodes, we'd have learned of 5 sister-sister teams with unique designs and canon names. They were just dumping pairs of ponies with remotely similiar color schemes and same race that did'nt clash with the props.

4: Maybe they're ponies that moved into town and have no other family there, maybe they currently live with their parents and siblings, maybe whatever. Most of the grownup populace of Ponyville seems to have grew up in other places and later moved there.
