My view on the shifting of the timeline regarding Belinda is that she was a single mother to start with and something happened before the start of season two that shifted the timeline and took that away and turned her into what we saw at the start of the season. And the end of the season...
I would have to watch it again, as I do not remember if she was sharing a place with other people or she was renting a one-bedroom place inside a building.
Most people think that is just a "bait and switch", as the end credits only said "introducing Billie Piper", not "introducing Billie Piper as the Doctor". I think it is more of a placeholder until they figure out if Gatwa is coming back or not. We could easily get a Christmas Special with Billie...
I would have to find the original quotes, but I am pretty sure I read they only used grandfather and granddaughter in the show because in the 1960's it was unseemly for a young woman to be traveling with an older man she was not related to. So originally they were not supposed to be related at...

It would be hard to see any of the original Toymaker story, as that is one of the ones almost completely missing. I am not sure if they even have the audio for it, the way they do for ones that have been animated.
Edit: it looks like a fully animated version of the 4-part series was finally...
Gotham and Metropolis are both East Coast cities. DC loved to make fictional analogues for real-world cities, though Gotham is in NJ, rather in NY proper.
Blame DC for starting all that with their massive original Crisis on Infinite Earths in 1985 and 1986. And then Marvel ran with the concept in 1986 with the first Secret Wars.
