A few questions here:

7. Education
Secondary is middle/high school, so I put 7 years for secondary and 5 for primary education (grades 1-5, or do I count kindergarten too?)
They want info for all the schools I've attended since middle school (6th grade) correct?

8. Personal History
Since I am 23, I need to list personal history through age 13?
I worked for the same company in the same position, but after a few months was transferred from one location to another location. Should I list it twice?
For the times I have changed jobs within the same company at the same location, should that be listed twice?

9. Organizations
I assume my sorority gets listed. What about other school clubs?
-Physics team in 11th-12th grade?
-Astronomy club where I attended meetings for 2 months in college?
-The GSA I joined in 10th grade until my school banned it after half a semester?
-Anime club that I went to one meeting of in college?
-SECME, which I participated in all through middle school?
If they want everything back through I was 13, that's quite a lot of things..... I'm sure I'll list at least half of them wrong....
etc etc etc....

I'm probably overthinking this...

Don't count kindergarten. Normally Canadian elementary is 8 years, and secondary is 4, so if you put that, it would look normal. Putting 9 for elementary (elementary and middle school) and 3 for high school would be OK too. 5 for elementary loooks strange in Canada.

There is no harm in listing it twice, or attach a note explaining you were transferred to a different location.

There is no harm in listing all these organizations, but they won't really care about the school-based ones. I would not bother mentioning clubs where you only went once. So list the ones you mentioned, but don't worry about getting the contact info perfect if you can't find it, since they will not be checking things like that.

Pretty sure you only need to go back to 18 years old.

Correct.

If I file, and then change positions at my current job, do I need to do do anything to update this then?

Not unless they ask for it.
