I just bought Final Fantasy X/X-2 remastered and its been a while since I've played it, I was 11 I think, so I didn't understand things then like now. I wanted to know the age/time setup on the events in this game. If I recall, Braska defeated Sin 10 years prior to the events of FFX. However, the story says Sin returns every 1000 years which means Braska would have created the Calm 1000 years ago today, so if Sin was defeated 1000 years ago when it destroyed Zanarkand, how is it that Yuna and Tidus are even alive? Does 1000 years equal 10 years, or am I missing something?

I think you've misunderstood the chronology.
Sin was originally created 1,000 years prior to the events of FFX, and has been defeated several times over the course of that millennium. Each time, there is a period of Calm (with a capital C) before Sin returns.
The Calm between Sins isn't given a fixed period as far as I can remember (or tell from other resources). Sin is most certainly returning around the time FFX's story begins, and it's only been around 10 years since he was last defeated.
To understand Tidus' chronology is a bit more complicated, so spoilers ahoy:
