Well, if Tom used the simplest, wand-based way to enchant Ginny, then 
I do believe the 16-year-old Voldemort could have learned the 
Imperius Curse. But Ginny says she was "possessed."

Still, Tom could have learned this, and thus his "memory" remember 
it. The memory Riddle seems to state that he knew nothing about his 
future until Ginny told him. ("She told me all about you ... how you 
escaped when only a baby ...") So it seems that Riddle never left 
sleep mode while at the Malfoy's. And somehow I don't think Lucius 
would want to talk with him.
