If you have no evidence that you are the father, you will need to do a DNA test. If you have proof, you can go forward but there are additional requirements if this is an out of wedlock birth.

Yes, he is an immediate relative to you. Since he is under 21. I don't know the specific facts here, so you may need to consular process his case instead of doing an adjustment. (the procedures are the same even though that it titled for marriage. In some cases, when the child gets the green card, he or she will automatically gain US citizenship. Please have an appt with a competent immigration attorney in your area.

Was he alive when you naturaliized, what was his mother's status, did you remarry? These are factors that should be considered.

It depends. It matters if you were a US citizen when your child was born.

You can petition for your son. You must prove the relationship. Usually a birth certificate is enough. Sometimes DNA is necessary.
