If you were born in Canada or naturalized before the baby was born then the baby is already a Canadian citizen and you will "only" need to apply for certificate/proof of citizenship

Yes, He can come to Canada with you on his US passport. You can start his application for his Canada Citizenship while he is here with you

Also, please note for future reference: You are NOT applying for citizenship for your kid. You are applying for a citizenship certificate. Someone who already is Canadian (like your child) can't apply for citizenship. That seems like nitpicking, but if you are trying to find things via google, that difference is very important.
