The guy in the Star Wars explain video posted earlier thought that he might actually be inspired by Hooter from Captain EO, rather than Max Rebo.

quick question:
1) do those kids lives in At Attin?
2) and they do that hyper space and ends up in another part of the galaxy?

The kids are from At Attin. Both they and their teachers mention it.
It is unclear how far they went out in hyperspace (depends on the ship they got. They weren't in hyperspace long). Judging by the mentions of it in "The Mandalorian", I think they are in the Mid-Rim, as that place was said to have a major Piracy problem the New Republic was having issues dealing with.

That isn't the reason why they didn't use Nick, that's a common misconception.
The writers were staff writers when The First Duty was written so there would be no rights issues, plus the writers are not credited at all in the Lower Decks episodes where Nick appears.
The reason they didn't use Nick in Voyager was the producers thought he was irredeemable for some reason.

It's definitely not that.
I think this is just their way of being able to have the cake and eat it too. People who are fond of the Kenner mis-interpreted design get to have a whole new species of whatever Neel is (Kenortolans?) While on the other hand; Phil Tippett's design is still respected, and Ortolans still look like Max.
I mean it's not like Star Wars doesn't have other pairs of species that look suspiciously similar be aren't actually the same; Chiss & Pantorans leap to mind of course, but so do Togruta & Chagrian, Ithorians & Ottegan, and I'm not sure if they ever fully clarified what was going on with Zabraks and Dathomirians.
Seems like they were just pushing buttons at random, and something they did kicked them out. Given that the effect was visually the same as the other rough hyperspace exists we've seen before in animation (mostly 'Rebels' IIRC), it seems a given that whatever they did either triggered an emergency stop, and/or they switched off something vital to maintaining hyperspace travel.
Earth is not in the Star Wars Galaxy.
It's not meant to be an in-universe song, unless there is some serious BSG-style All Around the Watchtower metaphysical shit going on in the GFFA.
That was an easter egg.
Which is absolutely 100% what they were shooting for. In fact, before shooting started, John Watts sat the entire cast down and had them watch "Goonies" together.

Not only that, John Watts actually got to consult with Goonies director Richard Donner on the project a few months before Donner passed away.
It's a shame that Donner didn't get to see the finished product. 
The Goonies’ Director Gave ‘Really Great Advice’ To Jon Watts That Helped Tremendously As He Prepared To Make Skeleton Crew
One of the greats.

But despite that I still managed to watch all the way through the first two episodes !
