Flea collars are chemically treated, and technically every time you pet the cat around the head or neck, you should be washing your hands right afterwards, because the chemicals can be dangerous. They also have the nasty tendency of discoloring the fur around the neck. Advantix is a good idea, or else try Frontline.
Re-vaccinating the cat will not be harmful. You should just be assuming that the cat has never had any shots before, and you should just start from the beginning. At the very least, see about getting it the FVRCP (distemper) vaccine and probably a pyrantel dewormer, and possibly a rabies, if the vet thinks it's old enough.
If there are any other cats in the household, the kitten should be quarantined, and tested for leukemia and feline AIDS - it's also a usual prerequisite for them being spayed/neutered.
