Rin does get more screentime than just this, but you're right in that she isn't really a major character in Fate/Zero.

There's a few reasons I asked about Fate/Stay Night. You may have picked up on this, but starting with Fate/Zero vs Fate/Stay Night is somewhat of a charged topic with the fanbase, sort of like the Haruhi fanbase with broadcast vs chronological watch order on that show. (Full disclosure: I am on the side of starting with Fate/Stay Night and think that it does matter, although admittedly I wouldn't say it matters a lot.)

In particular, I think the first episode is a lot more emotionally compelling to people who already played/watched Fate/Stay Night, but it seems like you liked the episode well enough anyway so I guess it's fine. Also this doesn't really matter towards the experience of watching Fate/Zero, but the stuff you learned about Sakura is one of the biggest plot twists/reveals if you start with Fate/Stay Night. (Though, Fate/Stay Night similarly spoils some things about Fate/Zero so that's an unavoidable problem no matter which route you go.)
