I have some questions about the Kirk family in general, especially Winona, because there isn't very much about her in the film

All I can help you with is that Jim would have been about 22 when he met Pike. Somewhere it was specified that he's 25 throughout most of the movie.

Kirk was born in 2233, so he would have been 22 when he met Pike in 2255.
I can't imagine Starfleet would take someone who didn't have a high school diploma, so I'm guessing not.
Pike says he was writing his dissertation (presumably doctoral) when he was assigned to the Kelvin, so he would have been a student. I imagine he would have been commissioned already and just assigned to the ship for research purposes.

As for your last 3...there's no info about them, so dream to your heart's content!

Thank you so much. I thought Jim was younger when they met, but now he doesn't need to have dropped out for my story to work out.

I'm still confused about that. I thought Pike was assigned the Kelvin as the subject of his dissertation.

Thanks for your thoughts. Your explanation of the dissertation makes sense and fits in with what I already had going on. And that's a really good point about how far education has advanced, and it will be useful for the scene where Jim yells at his teacher for expecting him to be exactly like his father. :)
