But HYDRA wouldn't have had a Russian branch when Bucky fell from the train- I mean, they were still kind of German and Nazi-ish at the time. At least I'd hope so, or I'm going to be side-eying MCU history FOREVER ;).
And my impression was that Zola didn't kind of restart HYDRA until well after the war, when he was accepted ala Wernher Von Braun, one would assume, into SHIELD, which was created a few years after the war, I thought? Maybe?
As to Natasha, I really quite like the comics stuff about her being much older. it lends itself to some interesting story potential. So until forced otherwise, I'm headcanon handwaving it as that SHIELD faked her info to something that made sense.
ETA random other thought: This movie couldn't be set around the same time as Iron Man, because it wasn't christmas. (man, that was so weird to watch in may). I also think Iron Man 3 was relatively shortly after the Avengers, but I think CA2 has been at least a while, since Steve has gotten all settled in and adjusted-ish.
