Did vashti queen of Persia have children?
The record of ('Queen') Vashti is in the book of Esther. She was the King's first wife, or queen consort, or most prominent/leading wife, but was deposed for disobedience to her husband, the King. She was replaced by Esther, a Jewess. The book of Esther does not say that Vashti had any children by the King. As she had incited the King's disfavor and been dismissed from the household, whatever happened to her after that was not considered significant enough to include in the bible record.
Where is vashti found in The Bible?
The name Vashti appears as the name of the first queen of the Persian king Achashverosh, in the apocryphal book of Esther. The name Vashti came from an Elamite goddess. The king has been identified by some as Xerxes. Some important contemporary women with that name include Vashti McKenzie, the first female Bishop of the AME church, Vashti McCollum, who won a landmark US Supreme Court case in 1948, and folk singer Vashti Bunyan.

Was Vashti removed from the palace after her dethroning in the book of Esther or did she remain there with the king's other wives?
A:The Book of Esther only says that the king was advised that Vashti should be relieved of her position and no longer be brought before him, and the king did according to that advice. As this is not a historical situation, there not having really been a Queen Vashti, no more detailed answer can be provided.
How old was Queen Vashti of Persia when she became Queen?
The Book of Esther does not tell us how old Vashti was. We can not rely on Persian records, because there never was a Queen Vashti of Persia. The Book of Esther is regarded as a second-century-BCE novel and contains fictitious elements.
What happened to Queen Vashti after the king deposed her as queen?
Vashti's later yearsMy understanding is that some time later she was actually reinstated. I believe she was a well-known power figure in ancient Persia. The reinstatement would have been after Xerxes returned from the finally-disastrous Greek campaign.
