1- Yes, that's what I thought, too. I wondered if the person who made the CV wrote 199- for the years instead of 198- for the years. That would have made him 38, which was how old Martin Freeman was at the time.
Of course, according to the casebook, evidently, Sherlock is supposed to be 31 when he 'dies'. Which again, is stretching things a bit. My canon has him having just turned 33 or 34 at the beginning of Series One (which takes place in January and Sherlock's birthday is Jan 6), so about 34-35 during Reichenbach. Molly is definitely 31 during Series One (she states it in her blog), and I can't picture him as younger than her.
... I've thought about this too much.
2. That's exactly how I think of it, too. John as the younger sibling forced to be responsible because the older one is a mess. Nice to know my reasoning makes sense to one person at least!
