I think it was separated from its mom too early, and it is trying to still suckle. Sometimes they do it into adulthood as sort of a comfort or anxiety-reducing thing. One of mine still goes for ear lobe, and he is almost 7.
That's my guess about the nursing behavior. I fostered a kitten years ago that nursed on people's neck; I had a roommate in college whose kitten sucked the bath mat, and continued to do so as an adult.
