Some of the questions can be answered by the Lexicon,
but I'll try my best.

An error that was corrected in later editions.

Supposedly so.  Check under her name in the Lexicon.

Perhaps Sirius took care of that before going back
into Hogwarts.  Or...  That is a question that I want
an answer to.

Your speculation wouldn't work because it's still
dangerous for Sirius to access his bank account.  Not
from the goblins but from the people who'll presumably
see him if he goes near the bank.

As to why Sirius remained a stray, he probably
wants/has to return to human form ever so often, which
won't be easy when he's been permanently adopted by
some family.

How do we know that they didn't?  Harry didn't know
the correspondence between Dumbledore and Sirius until
near the end of the book, either.

It will be out some time in 2002?  I was very
disappointed by that news, I thought they were
releasing it along with the movie.
