I think I can explain the two addresses. The Valenti's definitely lived in a different house in the first part of season 1. They must have moved sometime between Missing and Toy House.
This info is from the drivers licenses in VLV for Kyle Valenti and Harvey Wallbanger.
Most of the info seems to match what we already know, but the address is slightly different, and the birthdate is incorrect from what we know in CYN.

Kyle lives with his single father. His mother left them when he was six.
Kyle craves his father's attention but often feels left out of his life because of his father's obsession with aliens.
He enjoys outdoor activities, fishing, hunting, camping and target shooting. Kyle has been an athlete all his life, playing little league and continuing into high school where he is on the football, basketball, baseball and wrestling teams, and aspires to be a pro athlete.
Although he is good in a variety of sports, he isn't such a good student, and was even in remedial science for several years.
He is popular in school, hanging out with teammates. He is a bit spoiled by his father who got him a red mustang convertible.
Kyle can be arrogant and even cruel, but is known for being funny and was a caring boyfriend to Liz. He gets drunk occasionally, but is responsible enough to tell his friends that beating up Max was wrong. He admits he isn't really good with the romantic stuff, but seems to have no problem getting dates.
When Liz starts hanging out with Max, Kyle is concerned for her safety and is jealous and stalks her a bit before realizing it is a lost cause and settles for friendship.
Kyle is attracted to Tess when she first comes to town and she uses him to lure Max to the library where she recovers the 'destiny book'.
After Kyle is shot and healed by Max, his father presumably tells him the truth about the aliens, although we never see that conversation. That summer when Kyle is a football camp he starts wondering about his place in the universe and gets into Buddhism.
When Tess moves in with the Valenti's, Kyle continues to flirt with her, and there certainly seems to be an attraction between them. They almost kiss in 'The End of the World'. It makes you wonder where exactly that relationship would have gone if Liz didn't interrupt them.
Kyle and Tess remain close and have a playful if not romantic relationship. They are always flirting and teasing each other, and they even go to the prom together, but Kyle tells Tess that he can't be with her because he considers her a sister. (anyone else smell mindwarp?)
