As you're a British citizen, you can go through the spouse visa process with the wife assuming you're legally married. Son should be a citizen and can go as he pleases.You’re automatically a British citizen if you were born outside the UK and all of the following apply:
you were born on or after 1 July 2006
your mother or father was a British citizen when you were born
your British parent could pass on their citizenship to you
What you need to show is that you, as a child's parent, was British at the moment of child's birth. if I understand your situation correctly, you can apply for child's passport with your naturalization certificate (showing your date of naturalization before child's birth), his birth cert (showing you're the parent) and other necessary documents in British embassy. Be aware it will take several months.
If you lived together long enough - yes. See https://www.gov.uk/uk-family-visa/partner-spouse :
She would have to speak English (A1 at least) and you would need to show savings/earnings indeed, as per link above. Have a read and fire away questions you may have.What you’ll need to prove
You must be able to prove one of the following:
you’re in a civil partnership or marriage that’s recognised in the UK
you’ve been living together in a relationship for at least 2 years when you apply
The choice isn't entirely up to you what part of the immigration rules you want to follow. If you want to bring your family to the UK, you have to do it right.The requirements that an applicant must meet to obtain a spouse visa are set out in Appendix FM of the Immigration Rules. These rules contain a minimum income requirement of at least £18,600 or a cash savings requirement of at least £62,500 (or a combination of both).
If you were British citizen before the child was born (assuming you're the child's father), you don't have to go through MN1, you can apply for a passport directly - your child is British because you were British at the moment of his birth.
If the newborn was born on or after the date of your naturalisation certificate, you do not need to register their birth on Form MN1. You apply directly for their British passport with your naturalisation certificate and the child's birth certificate.
