How dependants can come to the United Kingdom

If your application to the points-based system is successful, you are allowed to bring dependants (children under 18 years of age, or your husband, wife, civil partner, or unmarried or same-sex partner) with you to the United Kingdom, as long as we give them entry clearance or permission to stay (known as 'leave to remain')

So no, you can't bring in kids over 18 years old.

Your FLR will be fine if you make enough money in time for the renewal.

It will not affect your FLR as long as you get enough points and meet all the required criteria (maintenance fund requirement etc).
