It's really hard to say how old Seija is exactly, as youkai tend to live for a very long time until they're killed off, but I don't think it'd be wrong to assume she's leaning on the younger side, as many of the older youkai aren't on familiar terms with her.

Considering she happened upon Shinmyoumaru and stole the mallet, it's possible that she is also from the world of onis (Hell/Old Hell), but considering the target of her rebellion wasn't against the onis, but against the humans of Gensokyo, it's also likely that she had traveled down from Gensokyo, found the mallet, and after learning that only Inchlings can use its true power, sought out the Shining Needle Castle, as amanojaku aren't actually oni, but another kind of youkai after all. What would really help provide clarity in this regard then would be knowing how exactly she had gotten the other youkai in Gensokyo to go along with her rebellion, so I think the fact that none of the rebelling youkai fought in DDC are from the land of oni or are also Inchlings, but various youkai in Gensokyo and tsukumogami granted life by the mallet, it's likely she's a Gensokyo native who, after the events of SA, was able to explore the depths of Gensokyo and delve into the underground where the oni live and eventually find a way to enact her revenge on the strong.

The fact Seija has so little interaction with the oni and youkai from Old Hell is probably indicative that she knows very few people from there and thus wouldn't have been able to rally as much support as she could have from the surface youkai, who she has spent much more time being around (considering she is one of them).
