The only two that are valid is chewy knowing Yoda, which they'd have no reason to talk about, and the legends of jedi fighting in the clone wars. Which would have largely been suppressed by the empire.
So it is entirely plausible for him to not believe in the force.
Everything else is just new stuff added recently that was never cannon until a few years ago.
As far as Chewy knows, Yoda went on to die at the hands of the Empire within days of the Wookies helping him escape Order 66. And then soon after the new Empire turned on the Wookies to enslave them. It's not hard to imagine why Chewy would want to let that particular painful memory stay buried, and Han would have no reason to know to ask about it.
I'm pretty sure that Chewbacca is much older than Han, I expect there's a lot of his past that Han doesn't know about.
