In humans that's not as noticeable a difference, but you're aware we're talking about a monstrous gorilla kaiju, right? They have all the reason they need to make him as big as they want. His biology doesn't resemble ours. And clarifying that he isn't fully grown as they are setting up a future confrontation with Godzilla is ridiculously transparent on their part. They are telling us he will get much bigger.
When the head isn't her weak point (that'd be the big glowing core) so it won't kill her and she decides to leave, and Godzilla collapses from exhaustion, it's a draw. It appears to be a source of contention among Godizlla fandom, so it isn't a clear cut victory for either. And while Biollante is fearsome (one of my favorite kaiju), gorillas are intimidating animals as well. A strong gorilla as big as Godzilla is pretty intimidating. A mutated rose bush is a harder sell than a monstrous gorilla, as is a butterfly, and they made it work. So Kong should be easy.
Everyone knows who King Kong is even if they've never seen a movie with him in it. Hes a pop culture icon. They are both famous monsters, probably the most famous rampaging monsters in all of cinema, which is why they are pitting them against each other in the first place. If he's not as popular, his notoriety is still going to catch everyone's attention, especially as a follow up to the hopefully successful KoTM.
What do you need proof for? The movie is being made and the casuals will see it because their interest will be piqued. It doesn't matter if Godzilla is more popular. Seeing him fight a monster who is just as well known is all they need to go support Kong.
Yep, he works as the plot demands and his origins change depending on the version.
Like Godzilla himself. Or Ghidorah, who is either an outer space monstrosity or three stupid looking little Pokemon critters that got nuked to kingdom come and got fused together to be mind controlled by time traveling Americans. Or an immature Orochi.
