It seems that Pi is booting with 1920 x 1080p (look into log, first message init_fb() ...)
But when you are connecting VNC client, a resolution of 1280 x 1024 is detected (look into log again, second message init_fb() ...). And that's confusing me
1280X1024p Is the resolution it's set to.

My goodness! I changed the resolution to 1920x 1080p and VNC works! I had to re-calibrate the screen as a lot of it was missing (it was too big for the television) but it now works very well.
It's an improvement on iOS too - it stays connected...until there's movement on the screen and then disconnects. I can live with that.
Thank you so much for your help with this. You're a star.

OK. Sorry, but I have a follow up question. I can't use 1920x 1080p as the screen and audio get out of sync and start to lag at that resolution. Is there any way I can use VNC at 1280 x 1024?
If so, what do I need to change and how?

The only way to use lower resolution is to set resolution you want in Kodi's System settings. Dynamically using lower resolution when VNC connection is activ is currently not working. But 1280x1024 is bad idea, because it has bad aspect ratio of 5:4, better use 1280x720

@spleencheese
Can you please explain what you want to do?
I have no issue playing video on my RPi1 with 1920x1080 resolution while VNC connection is active.

Hmmm
, tested VNC connection from my pre-historic Samsung Google Nexus, using this client, works like a charm

No worries. I did a sudo apt-get update/upgrade and VNC is working fine from the windows client. I think it's even slightly more responsive at the resolution you suggested.
bVNC viewer isn't available on the iOS app store so I still have the re-connection problem through my phone but that's not the end of the world.
