Yes, if it relates to a biological child,he status of the minor child is irrelevant. If the child was born in the US he or she is a US citizen regardless of the citizenship status (or lack thereof) of the parent(s)

The main reason to get this done is that at any time she could request a retroactive order. If the father is a resident of Ohio, the mother has until the child is age 23 to establish paternity, and can request 18 years retroactive child support, which would be based on your level of income at the time of the filing. Consider if you are a burger flipper now, however in 18 years you own the franchise.
Provided you have absolute proof you are the father, you need to set up a voluntary child support order. However, if you do and later learn you are not the father, you cannot stop paying, even in those states that now allow post order paternity challenges.
You will not be granted any access rights for the child as that is not automatic in the US, which does not have jurisdiction over it in any case.

No, to be born an American citizen you have to be born on American soil. Such as America or an American embassy. I believe that you only have to have one parent from the country in order to access some kind of resident visa and or long term citizenship.
