1. I'm pretty sure the Kents knew about the strength and speed before the pilot. For one thing, the "present" shot opens with Clark looking up stories on the internet about people with special strength and speed (guiness book kinds of things). So obviously Clark just knows he's freakishly strong and fast, but he has no idea about being an alien.
Someone on twop once theorized that the reason why Clark carries the skateboard is to have an "excuse" for being so fast. As in he didn't run over there, he rode his skateboard. I just think he was trying even harder for SuperDork....
