I assume Kion and the rest of the guard will be leaving the Pridelands at some point in the show. They'll meet Rani during their adventure and she explains that she lost her brother when they were very young cubs. Neither she or anyone else knows it is Kovu, but once she and Kion eventually return to Pride Rock for a royal visit, Rani and Kovu will recognize each other and it will make for a double reunion.

That sounds very neat, but it would take some creative writing. I doubt Kovu remembers if Zira was not his birth mother. Being that he always refers to Zira as Mother. Even when Kion had Roared the Other Outsiders away. Kovu in reference to Zira still yelled Mom, Mom wait for me. I could imagine Rani knowing she had lost a brother due to her parents having told her at some point, I just doubt that Vitani would even know if Kovu was not her brother by blood. Let alone Kovu himself.

While only concept art of her has been shown, Rani is definitely NOT an Adult. I think it is the fact that she is The Leader of The Night Pride is what causes people to think Rani is an adult. For all we know The Night Pride might not have any adult lions in it. In any event I have a feeling that The Night Pride is not going to be a very big (In numbers) Pride.

As far as this show parring anyone, I don't think they will have anyone fall completely in love, but I think an obvious mutual crush would work. I also suspect that we will see Kion and everyone aged up by the end of the season (series?). That is when we will see anyone together as an "official" pair.

Since what we know suggests she is an adult, its kinda ridiculous to say that she is 'definitely not' an adult. I know you clearly don't want her to be, but don't say that something is for sure the case when it appears it WILL be the case. Things arent more likely to happen simply because you want them to.

And by 'pairings', i'm talking any romantic aspect at all. So far, the ONLY crush we've seen is Bungu SORT OF crushing on Duhabu. In fact, besides 'Return of the Roar' and 'Lions of the Outlands', the entire subject of romance has never even been mentioned. Even then, in 'Return of the Roar' it was only brought up for a few brief seconds. And in 'Lions of the Outlands', it was only vaguely implied. I'd like to see some romance or whatever, but the show's track record suggests that won't happen.
