1. Yes, it means "How late can I be in giving you my address?" I'm curious, though. Is this the draft of an address you will be giving and you're submitting it for review?.. That is a perfectly fine way to express it. Another possibility is "What is the deadline for giving you my address?"

2. It stands for 'postscript' and means 'plus this extra thought.' It appears after the closing of the letter.

I meant the way you originally proposed it: "When is the latest..."
