I know Mandarin and speak it well. Should I contact them using Mandarin or English? Should I meet them face to face online to verify their legitimacy?

Yes, makes communicating so much smoother, less space for misunderstandings.
Look at the way they write, does it seem like your Mandarin is better than their English? The answer should be obvious from there.
It is essential to have a Mandarin speaker/ translator with you when conversing with manufacturers in China. They make it that much smoother when building relationship and pricing.

English, Spanish, Thai, Dutch, etc.
