Honestly, I find it more jarring that one of the sisters is British and one is American, and there's no indication thus far that they were raised separately... On the contrary, their close relationship suggests otherwise and there is mention of their school days together and the way Zelda always bullied Hilda as they grew up. The cousin is far more believable. Ambrose is clearly not 100% African descent, and he is obviously not the child of Zelda or Hilda, so the term "cousin" is likely referring to some cousin other than a first cousin... He could have any number of descendants not directly related to the fully Caucasian branch of the family. As for your last point, it's because he was never actually in the car. He was only real the first time and the last time in the house when the dog ran away, and that was it. The times he appeared with the glowing eyes, he was just another hallucination, like when she woke up to something licking her feet and saw him at first, but it was really just the dog. It was her mind running with her fears as her mind and body struggled to stay awake and drive... Hence him turning into her father and saying "mouse" right before she crashed.
