Dark Horse Comics released a graphic novel called: Buffy the Vampire Slayer the Origin. It's derived from the original Joss Whedon script for the movie. I think it's canon.

Also going back to the Kendra thing, you have to remember that Kendra was from a different culture and that culture believed in and accepted that there were vampires. Buffy was never originally trained because in the States people were blind to the entire thing. Giles makes reference of the fact that there are several cultures that accept the Slayer thing and that they begin training much earlier.
Giles is on the outs from the council mostly because he is too close to his slayer. Had to go check my series order here, but this storyline gets worse. When you get to "Helpless" in season 4 you will understand more of this complex relationship. Also, when Buffy fights Glory you can hear her tell the council off. That is just one of my favorite episodes.
As far as the continuity of the story: Let me say this, you never had to worry with Joss that you would see a character and then it would suddenly come up again later and that character was played by some one else. He kept the same actors, he kept true to the storyline and he kept things pretty straight. There are a couple of things that nagged me and now I am going to have to watch the whole series again to figure out what they were, but it is all explained at some point. I never had a problem with the Spike thing as I understood it the way that it is explained...Dru bite and turned Spike, but Angel was his SIRE. Angel was always in control of his little band of thieves not even bowing to the Master. He turned his back on him.
