Would you say "I live in Ermou Street" and "I live at 18 Ermou Street" or something else? By the way, "18" would be a cardinal or ordinal number?

Right, this is so not an odd question at all.

Both are correct really, depending on the information you want to give. "I live in 18 Ermou Street" would be incorrect, as would "I live at Ermou Street"

Just to confuse the matter, I would say "I live on Ermou St, at No 18"

Ordinal...1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th etc
Cardinal..1, 2, 3, 4 etc.

My address is in Welsh and I have to spell out every name to an English speaker over the phone...a bit of a bind.
House name/number, street,village,town ,county and post code.
