According to captain Pike while he is "recruiting" Kirk the normal time would be 8 years, 4 to graduation, ten the cadets would serve for 4 more year in ships until becoming Captains... the 3 years in the movie was because of an emergency...

According to Spock it was a future development by Scotty in the far future (probably post Star Trek XI, as Scotty was still alive by then).

After what happened to the Kelvin Federation was probably more aggressive toward the Romulans, and conceivably meet then sooner.

Maybe, or maybe not: Kirk´s mother escaped in "Medical Shuttle 37" that suggest that there are at least 37 shuttles and they had varying types... The shuttle that J Kirk goes to starfleet after "enlisting" appears to be much bigger than the "Medical Shuttle", i estimate that, packed like sardines, it could hold from 20 to 30 people. Maybe the shuttles that we see in the end of the movie beggining sequence are only the last ones to escape from the Kelvin and there are others that escaped sooner.
