Riddle and Minerva did indeed go to school together. I think she would have been in Seventh year when the chamber was opened, actually (though I'm not entirely sure - the lexicon has a timeline but I'm too lazt to check it right now). I think it's very likely that Minerva was prefect and then Head Girl, and since we know Riddle was a prefect, I think it's quite possible that they knew each other.
Those thoughts in the post are late-night and not terribly well thought out, and I think it's pretty much clear that they weren't her memories, on closer inspection, but I still think it's quite possible they knew each other, and that Minerva was one of the people Dumbledore was talkign about who was unwilling to talk about what she remembered of Riddle.
