Re untranslated words, make sure when translating "another documents"
they are prepared the same as your parallel training corpus' source
language. This includes the upper/lower case and newline characters Hieu
mentioned. Also, make sure your target half and your language model are
also prepared the same.

Re the mismatch, fix the above first problem then retest this issue. If
it persists and because the mismatch is in the reordering table, think
about lowering the "distortion-limit" in your moses.ini file and retune
your engine with the new value.
