In most countries a contract can only be signed by a person who is considered to be an adult. I know of no country where a 13 year old would be considered to be an adult.
However, it would be possible to get this contract but it would need to be signed by the 13 year old's legal guardian.
The 13 year old would need the advice of an attorney before entering into any arrangements.
Generally, a publisher pays you for the rights to publish your book. A publisher takes on all costs of publication and pays the author based on the contract signed. Self-published authors generally have to pay all production costs associated with publishing (binding, advertising, etc.), but reap all of the profit. Self published authors usually keep all the primary and subsidiary publishing rights to their own work, and sign up with what's called a 'non-exclusive' contract, meaning they can enter into agreements with other publishers, traditional or otherwise, at the same time as publishing their book with the self publishing company. This arrangement is said to give self published authors more flexibility. A good example of a book publishing company that uses a non-exclusive contract is Schiel & Denver, which also pays 50% net royalties on copies sold in all formats.
There is no specific age restriction to publish a book. Anyone, regardless of age, can publish a book. However, there may be legal and contractual restrictions depending on the country or publishing agreements involved.

Whether or not an author receives royalties is going to be entirely up to the contract that they sign with the publishing company.
To get publishing rights, you typically need to either purchase them from the original rights holder or negotiate an agreement for them. This process often involves reaching out to the copyright holder or their designated representative, such as a publishing company or licensing agency, to discuss terms and secure permission to use the content. Make sure to review and sign a contract detailing the extent of the publishing rights granted.
It all depends on the contract that you have signed with the publisher. Some contracts sign the rights to the publisher, and some do not. You will want to look over your contract. You may also speak with another publisher about the situation and see if they would like to negotiate with the original publisher to buy the rights.
