hi doc_mhl!smiling face
I can answer only one of ur qs.nod
there'no such a requirement in order to be eligible for CS. you can take Step1, Step2CK, Step2CS in any order you'd like to. I'm sure about that, since I also had that question and sent an email to ecfmg to clarify..and that's what they replied.
haven't read anything about expiratory period but i'll search for it. u could probably take a look at the ECFMG Information Booklet, it could answer many questions.
good luckwink

You have to pass all the steps in a period of 7 years form the date of the first one you've passed. The test that used to be valid for 2 years was the TOEFL, which is not even required anymore. maybe the First Aid you read is outdated.
