Snow and Alex are probably your best sources on World of Darkness stuff. Snow can give you dated stuff about the game itself, but should be still relevant on the target audience. Alex I am pretty sure is the most up to date person in the DL with regards to the actual VtM reboot.
Boodlines while great actually probably wouldn't be a great help for what she is after though. Part of the appeal there is how little like the rest of the stuff in the setting it is and the game literally takes place just before the old setting was finished up. Although it is well worth check out for a lot of other reasons, it is a game full of great ideas, bad execution and works wonderfully as a case study on highly restricted development cycle time frames with a third party engine still technically under development and also for post release support being handled by a player community.
I believe the new MMO is also going to take place in the New Worlds of Darkness setting rather than the old one, so it is more Medieval/Enlightenment era setting which tries to step back a bit from the more unhinged emololigoth stuff a bit from memory (this may be completely and totally wrong and misrepresenting the setting).
For the company itself, my understanding is that their background was largely from player base of another space MMO before EVE and they did that whole "We can totally do this better" thing that happened with Everquest and some of the bigger name hires that Blizzard took on for WoW. Outside of that, I don't really know much. A little suprised that they have a presence in Atlanta, I thought the head office and main servers and everything for EVE were in Europe (Iceland? or something like that?), but I know they have something of a presence in the US for yearly big meet ups about the game they have in Vegas and whatnot. But that again just might be my memory playing up and hey nothing wrong with successful companies running multiple teams and whatnot. Honestly don't know who funds them or what though, I THINK (again bad memory) from the top of my head that they are independent studio that White Wolf or whoever owns the license for the release of games is producing it. No real big names in the studio comes to mind or anything and to be frank I can't think of anything they have done other than EVE.
