Your 22 year old US citizen can file petition for you if you came to the US with a tourist visa even if that visa has since expired. Your bankruptcy case in your country will have no bearing on your eligibility to get a green card in the US based on your US citizen's son petition

Are you in the US? Your son can petition for you, but if you are outside the US, you will not be able to receive a visa without a valid passport.

Yes as long as you entered the US legally and are still here.

As a parent, you are considered an immediate relative of a US citizen. Thus, as long as you were inspected or entered the country legally and do not have any inadmissibility issues, your son can petition for you and you can apply for adjustment of status simultaneously, even if your passport has been expired for more than 2 years.
