1. Yes under PROTECTION OF Women under Domestic Violence Act.
2. Yes but in respect of his ancestral properties only.

Hindu Marriage Act itself recognises illegitimate child's right of inheritance.

Wife and her child can get maintenance under the provisions of DV act as well as under section 125 of Criminal procedure code. child has got full rights in all the properties of his father viz. ancestral properties during the life time of his father and 1/2 share after demise of his father if the deceased had not made any arrangement qua his self acquired properties. Hindu succession Act is the relevant act for the child as on day.
