Why are do some addresses on the Monero testnet begin with '9' and others with 'A'?
Prefix is fixed in that the first (AKA network) byte is fixed to 0x35 for testnet. When encoding to base58 to get the actual address, the first 2 characters will vary depending on what follows after ...

Is it possible to have a full Monero node, a Monero testnet node, and an Aeon node all on the same VPS?
Aeon has not yet integrated LMDB so the 2GB RAM is probably not enough. Although it should work (slower) if the swap is big enough.

Does I2P have a test network?
No. There is no current public I2P testnet.
The I2P protocol already specifies a NETWORK_ID (equal to 2 for mainnet), so it should be easy to add.
