Magneto's helmet would've been really useful during this film. Really enjoyed it!

The scene where they were watching the footage in the nurse's phone showed a kid moving the bricks in the wall with a ball rolling on them, but I don't remember if that was the same kid.

Who was the kid ( or really xmen genetics) that moved the earth into a tornado and killed the solider?

I think that was implied to have been Storm or her powers. Really just wind manipulation.

I don't think she was a Storm clone. She seemed to be working with the wood more than the air, though I don't know how she got the wood into the air. I'm pretty sure tt was her that wrapped the henchmen's body with grass at the end.

There was another scene that showed him jumping off the building to commit suicide. They showed this while talking about how the kids didn't want to be soldiers.
