Why "that" is not skipped after "and"? Can I skip it?

You are correct! You don't need "that" in this sentence. The entire sentence is "I didn't know that it would be used so widely on the internet and that there would be so many made-up stories about it." I believe "that" is being used to re-mention the photo that became an internet meme since it's not used in this sentence at all.
