Doubt: Offcial exp is "The original sentence expresses the main verb "attended" in the past tense and the two subordinate actions in the "-ing" form. This construction correctly indicates that "receiving" and developing" followed as a consequence of Einstein's attendance of "the Swiss Federal Polytechnic School in Zurich."

Can the ing form can be interpreted to be subordinate form ?

Yes. Just like its in this case.

Can we see moving , receiving and developing as parallel ?

Moving is not parallel to receiving and developing. Moving is a part of modifier After moving to Switzerland in the 1890's. Don't mix it with developing and receiving. They are parallel and at same level.
