In regard to the question about the length of time between ST:TMP and ST:TWOK:

If we go by references in the novels and the movies, ST:TWOK occured
15 years after Khan was marroned on Ceti Alpha V. The "Space Seed" Episode
occured during the first season of Star Trek, so It must have been rather
early in the 5 year mission (say late 1st, early 2nd year).
ST:TMP occured approx. 18 months after the end of the 5 year mission, so that
would make the amount of time between ST:TMP and ST:TWOK as less than 10 years.

In regard to Spock being Saavik's father (this would not be possible since the
Romulon Commander Episode occured in the 3rd season (approx. 13 years before 
TWOK).
