to explain his skill mastery being transferred, its becuase his data from SAO got "carried over" to ALO, since after the SAO deletion, Sugou copied the SAO data (and with it 300 players including Asuna) to ALO. Actually. everything Kirito had on SAO was carried over to ALO, the only ones that he could not use were the SAO items (except for Yui's Heart), his HP and MP (since its a different format from SAO), and some of his skills like Dual Blades (also since it does not exist in ALO).

to explain why he was transported to a different location other than the Spriggan starting idea, Yui had a hypothesis about this, let me quote from the novels about that, "Yui had hypothesized that the reason I met her after I first logged in was because someone in my neighborhood had connected to ALO at the same time as me. Because we made our dives not from the same neighborhood, but the same house, our global IP address was identical."
