I assumed he would be a genin when she returned just because you suggested she had been held for a decade. (Any under 20 version of Orochimaru is basically a baby compared to his main timeline age) By that logic he should probably be 15 just to justify how attached to her memory he was in canon. I understand that Naruto style geniuses have ridiculous mental abilities, and remembering his family as it was at age 3 with obsessive detail well into the twilight years of his life isn't the most ridiculous setup even in canon, but still.
Does it even say in canon when he was orphaned? I couldn't find it anywhere, so I'm going with him being 5 going on 6 when his parents were supposedly KIA. This ties in with something Kiyomi is gonna say to him when they meet again
I don't think it's ever mentioned. I think it's implied that he was young, just to emphasize the emotional impact of their loss, but no word from god on exact timing. Asking for exact timing on any of Orochimaru's timeline (Or any of the pre-main timeline) is kind of an exercise in futility considering how haphazard it is.
