Why did the airline ask for proof of age for my 3 year old child flying with me and in her own seat?

There are several reasons that an airline looks at ID and verification for adults and children. Proof of age is normally asked for when a discount fare for that seat was given due to age. Under two they normally allow one child per adult to sit on laps. At three you normally receive a 50% discounted fare.
Other issues could be your destination or the verification that the child was yours. Child custody issues may have raised a flag for a child like yours and they are merely verifying the child's status.
Normally this is ont a big issue and remember they have a responsibility to make sure everything is right and safe on a flight. If they believe that child could be in the process of being abducted they MUST refuse boarding until they can determine the status. Better saf then sorry!

Can a child sit in a regular seat or do they have to use a car seat on your airline?
Airlines have differing regulations regarding the seating of children in aeroplanes. You should check with the airline concerned In the United States, FAA approved seats are often the only seats a child may sit in. Your car seat may be NTSB approved for driving, but not for flying. You may wish to check your air carrier and make sure you check the car seat for FAA approval.

Can you take a car seat on an aircraft?
Yes. It is highly recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics and other professional organizations that children under the age of 4 and who weigh less than 40 pounds be properly secured in a car seat on an airplane. Each car seat has a label that indicates whether it is approved for use on an aircraft so make sure the car seat you are using has this label, as the airline will check for it as well (most rear-facing and forward-facing car seats with a harness are approved; booster seats are not because the airline has lap-only seat belts and booster seats require a lap/shoulder seat belt). Also, check the airlines policy on using a car seat before you arrive to depart. Because of seating space, the airline might have maximum width limits for the car seat. While the FAA allows children less than 2 years to be held by a parent while in flight, it is very dangerous and places your child at great risk of injury. Turbulence is the greatest threat to an unsecured child on an airline. With strong enough forces, a parent cannot hold onto their child and they become a flying projectile. Think about we... airlines secure luggage, laptop computer and even the coffee pot but they allow our most precious possessions to be held unsecured and at risk of injury and death. To provide the optimum safety for your child during flight, secure them in a child safety seat.

How much money is it to take a child on a flight?
Most airline's charge the same amount for a child as an adult because they are selling a ticket to the seat itself, but it's best to check with your airline and their policies. There are aslo extra fees to send an unaccompanied minor on a plane, ranging anywhere from $40-$150 depending on the airline. (Check here for chart of unacomppanied minor fees for all of he major airlines: http://theluggageblog.com/current-airline-fees/)
How many children that are not the adult's sons can travel with him maximum?
This answer can be different for different countries that you may be going to. But as far as the airline is concerned, flying within the US, there's really no limit. This could be different by airline, but I know that on American Airlines there is no limit on how many children can fly with an adult, and no rule that requires them to be the adult's actual child. If the child is under 2 years old, and therefore defined as an "infant", then each adult can only bring one infant lap child. They could bring additional infants if they are purchasing a seat for each additional infant.
