Yes, he may file an I-130 visa petition for him. However, USCIS may hold up final approval of the petition until the conditions are removed from the "green card."

Yes but it would be much faster if your US citizen spouse petition for your child since that would be considered an immediate relative petition and not subject to any priority date backlogs.

Yes, but your spouse who sponsored you can also sponsor the minor son. That would be faster and easier.

Generally, yes. And, better yet, if eligible, the USA step-parent could file and it's years faster.
