Rinoa obviously saw Adel's life when junctioned to her. There would be no other reason to mention such a statement. Squall and Seifer knew Garden and had grown up there a majority of their life, in this instance, Rinoa would lose her earliest memories (those of her life in Galbadia) and then she could only have Adel's memories to draw from, which she gained at 17. While that may not make a lot of sense, you have to recognize that GF's seem to specifically target a persons earliest memories (one of the reasons for the Orphanage scene) so Adel's memories wouldn't have been her earliest. It's obvious she saw Adel's memories, perhaps in a similar fashion that the party saw Laguna's (the only example we can really draw from), and I believe she did comment that they scared her.
The emphasis on the ring was - to me at least - her thinking of Squall, how can an inanimate object give her life? it could have been her Sorceress' powers that saved her, it could have been any number of the GF's she could have equiped at the time that saved her, imo, the focus on the ring was no more then her thinking of Squall at the time... just before he saved her.

Also how do you explain the fact that after Griever "saves her life" that he is not usable in the game?

Finally you did not explain that how she could have changed he perception from being Kind and Friendly to being Ruthless and Merciless. GF's wipe out memories, not a persons being. Like I said, what happened to the memories she made with Squall and Co. after Adell had junctioned her?
