It is debated, that Julius had an affair with the mother of one of his murderers. It was never confirmed, but it is popular to believe so for some strange reason. After Julius's assassination Octavian hunted down every alleged murderer and killed them. Thus he killed Julius's son.
Julius Caesar had no legitimate son. Cleopatra claimed that her son, who she named Caesarion, was in fact fathered by Caesar, but there are many doubts.
Julius Caesar is a play about attempting to effect political change by assassination. An attempt of this nature was carried out in 1597 by the Earl of Essex, shortly before this play was written. The play supports the passage of power through family ties (from Julius Caesar to his adopted son Octavian) which was the most peaceful form of transition the Elizabethans could hope for.

Yes, it was Octavian who was Caesar's adopted son. He had gained power by the time the triumvirate was formed and consequently was made one of the three.
Julius Caesar's dad's name was also Gaius Julius Caesar. The Romans named their eldest son after the father.
Adopted-yes. Son-no. Octavian was adopted into Julius's will as his heir to the throne, but Octavian was his great-nephew. However under Roman law, an adopted son was considered the same as a biological one with the same status and rights.
