That depends on the laws of the State and whether the decedent left a will, but the older child would likely be entitled to a share of the estate, assuming paternity was established.
Clothing expenses should be paid from the child support. If you find there isn't enough being paid and your circumstances have changed (for example- older children cost more to raise) you have to go back to court and request that the child support order be increased. If he is not paying regularly pursuant to the court ordered child support, you can file a motion for contempt with the court. If necessary, they can arrange to take the money directly from his wages.

When they are 18. The court order must be followed but the parents can have it modified when the child gets older. When in his older teen years the court would listen to what he wants but they might not follow it.

With some exceptions,child support is not paid directly to the child because it is not "the child's money" - it is compensation to the custodial parent because they are raising the child alone. Child support must be paid to the custodial parent or legal guardian.However, if the child is no longer living with the custodial parent (in the case of an emancipated minor or a child 18 or older who is a full-time student), the court can be petitioned to have the money directly paid to the child.
The family with the older child[ren] gets the full percentage of net income. The family with the younger child[ren] gets a percentage of net income after subtracting payments ordered and being made to the older child[ren].

In general, child support is based on a percentage of net income. For example, in Illinois, the older/oldest child would receive 20% of net income. If you are also the NCP of the younger child, that child would receive 20% of your net income after deducting payments ordered and made for the older child. Being the custodian of a child does not reduce child support for other children, either older or younger, for whom you are the NCP. see link below for additional info on this
