It's Dany. Aemon certainly believes so. I don't have the book on hand to give you an exact quote, but he references "The Song of Ice and Fire" in AFFC before he dies and goes on about the Prince that was Promised (Azor Ahai) being a translation error, Prince being a gender neutral term based on the fact that dragons have no sexes until mating. Rhaegar thought the Prince was his son, but was swayed from that idea sometime later. Dany being Azor Ahai also gets back to the theme that the Targaryens are the rightful rulers of the realm and will return to being so by the end of the series.
Yet, it seems that she is suited to use that same army against the invasion of wights and Others from beyond the Wall.
Yes, she does. That's exactly what Azor Ahai is for. That's why Melisandre brought Stannis there. What I find more curious than the identity of Azor Ahai is what it means that The Lord of Light is gaining so much power in Westeros. It certainly seems like R'hllor is being set up to be the new proper religion in Westeros, which is at odds with the theme of the rightful ruler (Dany, the Targaryen heir) returning to power and putting things to rights. She also hasn't shown much if any pious leanings, though I assume she keeps the seven.
