Is it illegal for a landlord to turn off electricity in an apartment with an underage child?

Except for maintenance purposes (which the landlord should notify you of ahead of time), the only one who can turn off the electricity is the power company. If the landlord refuses to turn the electricity back on, you have been constructively evicted. See the Related Questions below for information on how to proceed.

Is it illegal for my landlord to go thru my mail inside my house with my name on it?
This depends on whether your landlord is responsible to ensure everyone gets their mail. If you are living in an apartment with a separate apartment number, then there should be a mailbox for that apartment, and the landlord should not have to look in the mail to see to whom it is distributed. But if you are living in some type of communal environment, or a hotel/motel, then the landlord or innkeeper must sort through the mail to deliver it properly.

If you are in illegal apt and suffer personal injury do to mold and mildew in the apt i just found that apt was illegal in court can i sue my landlord for return of some of my rent?
Uncertain what the questioner means by "illegal" apartment. If the place you were living was not licensed as an apartment/boarding house/rooming house the landlord can probably be charged criminally for operating an un-licensed establishment. You may have no choice but to sue this person in civil court but will have to be able to prove that the person rented you the space KNOWING that it was hazardous.
