I always figured that since radioactive pieces of OUR home world would negatively affect US ( most likely kill us) that Luthor's deduction was rather elementary.
Also he read in the article that Superman was "over 21" and clearly closer to 30 from the photograph.
So he deduces that he must've landed in our atmosphere roughly thirty years prior and if his planet exploded around the same time as his lift off, then debris probably traveled with him.
It's not too grand a leap for a mad genius like Lex. -

This may sound dumb on my part, but I watched this movie over 100 times and I never caught the speechwhen young Clark creates the fortress of solitude and finds Jor-El Marlon Brandoit goes to a star field voice overat the end of it, we "arrive back on Earth" where 12 years have passed. In essence, he'd traveled twice. This was to bridge the gap between the two actors Jeff East & Chris Reeve. And to explain why he is 30. Amazing.

He's able to think for himsef. He's probably able to pay attention to the dialogue in movies so that he can pick up on little tidbits like that.

Kryptonite on its own could never reached Earth. Even with Krypton exploding and escaping Krypton's gravity and its Sun they never moved faster than light aka Warp Speed or hyperspace. It would take at least hundreds of thousand years to reach Earth and if they luckily had a clear trajectory to Earth not hitting any planet, moon, star or any asteroid on its way. Then it will have to deal with Earth's atmosphere of burning it up.

That's the same thing I thought of when I just rewatched it on Netflix. Also I hated the 2nd and 3rd movie due to Superman using powers he doesnt have. Such as making Lois forget by kissing her and using some kind of power by pointing his finger. Zod also did the same thing.
