I always understood that as the mom lying about the father dying.

Same. I came to the conclusion she lied and that he left her because she was nuts.

That was the movie, or rather the sequel of the movie to explain how Carrie ended up having a half sister.

Book isn't connected to that. At the end they show evidence of another telekinetic girl, but there's no stated familial link between her and Carrie.

Yes, but you can also have doubts on whether her mother was telling the truth there. There's no proof one way or the other that he is alive or dead beyond her mother's word, which isn't very good.
