It has been a long held convention to refer to "I" Street as Eye Street so as to not confuse it with an "L" or "1" (one). I think back when this was decided, the letter "I" looked more similar to a "J." (By the way, there is no "J" Street, again to not confuse "J" with "I" or "L" or "1"). So, although the official name of the street is "I Street", it is proper to refer to I Street as Eye Street. Imaine havinge the number "1" on "I" Street -- pretty confusing: 1 I Street NW, depending on penmenship, it could be a different address. So, whenever you see EYE, know it's "I", as there is not other "Eye" Street.

Both "in the street" and "on the street" can be correct, depending on the context. Use "in the street" when referring to being inside the actual space of the street (e.g. walking in the middle of the street), and "on the street" when referring to being on the surface of the street (e.g. standing on the sidewalk next to the street).
It depends on the situation. "My house is on the street that runs parallel to the freeway" "If you stand in the street watch out for oncoming cars." Both are correct.
