I'm assuming you still missed the ending credits to episode 8, the ending is literally Roswaal revealing he knows Subaru's power

It's like I said before, you're in the shit now. :)
I think for the sake of your reactions, it's best we don't answer too much. The show is deliberately trying to throw you off for a reason. So you being confused is actually what they want. No worries, your questions will be answered VERY soon.
As for Roswaal beating the piss out of Subaru instead of killing him, he's still unaware of his ability to return by death and wanted to see how he would escape/restart. Because if he knew, he would have easily snapped his neck.
Oh btw. You're right. That young girl (who turned out to be a mabeast-breading witch cultist) was one of the village children from Season 1. She was the owner of the demon dog. Surprise surprise. She was behind the attack from the get-go. Great twist.
