Childs visa will be in line with yours and will qualify for ILR when you do.

My concern is can she claim child benefit for our son? Yes, she is entitled to claim if she qualifies.
Would it effect sons future ILR application ? No, because it is not the child claiming. Only an adult can claim child benefit

If your wife is also going to claim child tax credits, this MUST be claimed in JOINT names with you. But child benefit only in her name.
