"What was that key to the seal? Which seal?"

This isn't explained that much. There is a door like thing deep within Elior Forest that according to Pandora only two people in the entire world could open, one of which is Emilia. It's not the seal on Satella as her shrine is farther in the east near the Pleiades Watchtower

"Is there any info on Emilia's mother in the story so far?"

Nothing other than the fact that the Elves in Elior Forest owed her a great debt

"Apparently she was a human (who married an elf) and presumably she was a witch (how so?). Has anything else been revealed about her yet? When they call Emilia "the witch's daughter", is it 魔女の娘 (Majo no musume) in Japanese?"

That's not really clear and hasn't been explained but she had to have been Human since Emilia is a pure Half Elf as confirmed by the Sanctuary Barrier. Yes, they use Majo no musume

"Satella could have killed..."

Really? I've always thought that the Returns by Death was too keep Subaru alive and that she didn't care about any collateral damage like Rem. I'd have to check this. Still, she didn't really do anything in the IF Chapters when he ran off with Rem

"But why do we write "Satella" in this case? Isn't it more likely the Witch of Envy?"

There's really no way of telling which personality is active other than how aggressive they are, and even that might not be accurate
