Ron Watkins was the admin until he stepped down. He is running for Congress now. Jim Watkins is the owner now. Ron could still have admin access because Jim likely can't come close to how well Ron maintained it. Supposedly Ron is out though.
As to your other question - different boards. 8ch was replaced by 8kun. 4ch is just another board a lot of people read. Same difference as Facebook and Instagram.
They are on 8 Chan without the trip code
