Invalid, because your husband will cease to be a WP migrant.

Yes. You will need to apply for EC as a spouse of settled person (as has been advised to you before). You'll qualify for probationary citizenship as per the new earned citizenship laws - not ILR as it is known today - after completing the residential qualifying period as defined in the new laws.

If you want to apply for ILR (and naturalisation) as it is granted under current immigration laws, then return to UK before your husband applies for ILR and include yourself and child as dependents in his ILR application.
If British citizenship is your aim, my personal suggestion is that you return to UK before your husband applies for ILR.
