Wording made no sense without the part taken from the American timeline.

Seriously, this part only exists in The Grudge...nothing of the sort happens in the Japanese timeline.

** Toshio was a school boy when he was killed. As for the following instances, like in the third Ju-On film where Mariko pays Toshio a visit, perhaps only the teacher knows about him from the attendance list because the boy never come to class anyway. It's a relatively simple trick for the curse. Heck it can even make victims experience the future.

How the heck does the curse work? No mechanism is ever really suggested, and it appears to have NewPowersAsThePlotDemands. Horror is well and good, but when you get the feeling that the director is personally forcing the story into ScrewTheRulesIHavePlot it rather diminishes any urge to keep watching.
* More importantly, WHY does the curse work? "Oh no, I was horrifically murdered by my husband, now I want to kill random, innocent people!" WTF?! What does that have to do with her murder AT ALL?! All the spirits involved in the Ju-On are all Jerkasses, and if I was consigned to die from the curse, I'd call their asses out on it first.

Everyone the curse kills, therefore, is sort of possessed by this all-consuming rage. It's not like they're of their own will or anything.
** Also this is how {{Onryo}} actually worked in the old stories. The only difference between Kayako and a traditional Onryo is that in the old Japanese myths the ghost of a woman who was wronged by her husband would attack everyone [[UnfortunateImplications except for her husband]], while Takeo was Kayako's first victim.
