I am also a UK expat who has not been resident in the UK since 2004. I had the photo-ID driving licence since 1999 or 2000, and so it expired while I have been out of the UK. However, I do have a driving licence that I got in Thailand soon after moving here. I got the Thai licence on the back of having a valid UK licence at the time. Now I have to renew my ...

The normal case for a parent joining a child is that the parent must be the child's dependant. That is the explicit provision of the directive (2004/38/EC, article 2(2)(d)). Since your son is 16, and you are his carer, that is clearly not the case here.

There's no need to do this. A temporary address is acceptable for applying for a National Insurance Number.
After your appointment, the Department for Work and Pensions will post you a letter telling you your National Insurance Number. If you change your address after the appointment but before you get the letter you can phone the DWP to tell them.

Inspired by Patricia Sanahan's comment, the easiest and most straightforward way to both verify and prove your citizenship would be to apply for a British passport.
If they grant it, you have the ultimate documental proof.
If they reject it, they will tell you why.
