Would it work in our favour if we disclosed the fact that my wife is pregnant (first few months) during our spouse visa application?
That is not really relevant to the application. It will do neither harm nor benefit to the application.

Would our child be eglible for all NHS treatments as any other British citizen.
It is not correct to say that all British citizens are eligible for NHS treatment. Even non-resident British citizens may need to pay for NHS treatments. Only British citizens ordinarily resident in the UK are eligible for free NHS treatment.
@JB007 will be able to advise further on this point.
Similarly British citizens resident abroad need to meet specific requirements to be able to avail of Home Student fee status and student finance when it comes to university financing. See
this thread that touches on how being a non-resident British citizen does not carry any benefits on returning to the UK. That thread may answer many of your other questions. As you can see, on many matters of immigration, the UK's approach is much stricter than that of most EU countries', even when it comes to its own citizens.
Having said that, I think the child will be eligible for free NHS treatment if they are ordinarily resident in the UK with both their parents.

can I still apply for housing benefits (being British citizen) even though my wife will be on a spouse visa.
This is a complex question and you may want to post a separate question about that in the
Claiming Benefits forum.
