Yes, it MAY be allowed. The "age of reason" for children in most states is usually set at, or about, 7 years of age.

Is it legal for a judge to refuse evidence in traffic court?

A judge has final say on what is or is not admissable in their court. The only recourse if the evidence was refused is to file for an appeal and have the appeals court see if his/her refusal of the evidence was justified. If they find in favor of the judge, you're out of luck. If on the other hand the appeals court decides the evidence should be admissable, the case will most likely be retried with the new evidence presented.

No, definitely not. Except for extremely narrow and defined circumstances, affidavits are considered "hearsay" and are not admissable as 'best evidence." Best evidence would be the testimony. in person, of the individual who gave the affidavit. Such a personal appearance allows the opposing side to cross-examine the witness. You can't cross-examine a piece of paper.
