ATLA I don’t feel like this is talked about enough.
Yes, from this interaction we can tell that Zuko is caught off guard with Aang being a kid. What this ALSO MEANS is that Zuko fully expected to be having a fight with either a fellow teenager or an adult Avatar.
My guy gets clowned on repeatedly by a kid and yet thought he could take a teen or an adult?!

The concept of a retcon isn't subjective... it's a defined idea defining a revision made to a piece of media/fiction.
That being said I agree I don't think this could really be considered a retcon since they aren't revising anything. They messed up her age and just went with that. Like when they decided Maul didn't actually die on Naboo, it's not really a retcon because it isn't contradicting previously given facts of the plot, just continuing with something we the audience didn't know or understand.
