1. Phantom Thieves would likely fall under Assassin, as even if they aren't killers, it's basically the stealth class. Depending on the specifics of their tale though, it seems likely that they could fall into Caster if they're more mysterious/possibly supernatural in nature, or Rider if they relied on machines or elabourate escape plans. I doubt anyone of that style would fall under the knight classes.

2. Well for lesser known tales into well known legend, there's the Brothers Grimm who took oral folk tales and wrote them down for the masses, they're now known world wide for the tales.

For an Obfuscator, you're probably looking at somebody whose greatest feat was some sort of cover-up or hoax? Elsie Wright and Frances Griffiths, the girls famously responsible for the Cottingley fairies spring to mind, but if taken from the time of their deaths than the time of the event, they're way too young to be heroic spirits, both women only dying in the 80s.

As for greatly expanding stories into mythology, there's Luo Guanzhong, author of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, a fictionalised retelling of a turbulent time in Chinese history, it was so successful, his retelling is basically better known than the actual history in many cases. Anyone who is famous for their sensationalised version of real events might play into this, but this is just who springs to mind.

3. I have no idea, I'm sadly unfamiliar with her other works.
