So this are my answers to you:

1. I believe it can be both. I mean, is may be true 100% Kitsunes are fox spirits that can take human form and need at least 100 years to do so, but as Areyouaphan said, Kira is just half a Kitsune, born to a human and a Kitsune in human form, so thats why she had her powers without being in fact a spirit but a normal girl. Also, lets remember what Derek told us about young Kitsunes, they cant hide their auras and that makes them recognizable to any supernatural eyes. If a kitsune takes 100 years to take human form, wouldnt he be able to control his own aura by that time?. I believe is just that they can be 2 types of Kitsune, those who are nature spirits (Like the Nogitsune), and those who are born to the Kitsunes in human forms (Kira), this does not cancel each other.

2. The legends and the myths of Kitsune state they have tails, the same does the TW mythology, but it never says how they look in human Kitsunes. As we know, Kitsunes are tricksters, meaning they are experts hiding things. Probably the Knives are a personal thing of Ms.Yukimura, while other Kitsunes hide their tales in other ways, thats why the Nogitsune didnt realize the relationship.

3. I agree with you about the child theory, but i also have another one that mix of the facts we know about Ms.Yukimura. I believe she is what i called in my first answer a nature spirit Kitsune. She told us she had 900 but that doesnt mean she had had a human body during that 900 years, she could have decided she wanted to be human some time around the second world war and thats when she appeared young, since then she has retained that body and thats why she is aging like any other human. As i said this is my theory and there are many others.

4. I can't answer this as there is no mention of it in the show, but if we believe what kira said based on a child book, the Knives/Tails could be used for creating powerful beams of foxfire.

5.I think is  genetical, if you are a thunder Kitsune, your daughter will be a thunder Kitsune (Kira and her mom) but it could be that like werewolves it can change for any reason (Peter is a werewolf but Malia is a werecoyote) to another species.

In general i agree with you, TW mythology has many plotholes in it, but i believe is because of 2 reasons. First, the show likes to explore the practical side of the myths, if kira is a Kitusne they will center more on the fact that she can kill you with lighhtning than in how she became a Kitsune. The mythology they show is just the one we need to understand the story. I think if they  tried to explore too much on it, we would have very boring parts of the episodes that only explained the myths. The second reason is that i believe it tries to resemble real world mythology. In our daily live, many legends have many forms and variations, so we dont know which is totally true or not.
