It seemed to answer your first question:

how long after the creation of klingon language was the KLI formed ?

The language (dictionary) came out in 1985 and the KLI started in 1992, so
that would be 1992-1985 = 7 years after

The text of the opera 'u' became the text of the paq'batlh. That's the
closest you'll be able to get right now.

Only Lawrence can probably answer that question as he was the only founding

No. Only Okrand has created vocabulary and/or grammar that is considered
canon. Although he may have based his ideas on other people's
ideas/requests.
