Training wheels? The you keep raising them up the better he gets.
Check out a front basket like the classic Wald: https://www.amazon.com/Wald-Front-Bicycle-Basket-Silver/dp/B000C1YRTM/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1549423791&sr=1-2-spons&keywords=wald+bicycle+basket&psc=1
Get some bungees or old innertubes to keep stuff from bouncing out of the basket. You can also strap a foam cooler in the basket for a cheap insulated solution.

I think Montague recommends seatpost-mounted rear racks (like this because of the way their bikes fold, so you'd be limited to about 10 kg / 20 lbs.
The general rule is the bigger the wheel size, the more it's going to ride like a regular bike. I think the appeal with Montague's bikes is that they neither look nor feel like a folding bike. Tern's 24" wheel bikes probably handle very similarly too.
One downside is that Montague and Tern are both speciality brands so for the most part you're only going to find them in major cities' shops.
Edit: I just realised that the newer Beetles have a trunk that opens like this and the rear seats fold down. Assuming that's what you have, you should have no problem putting a full-size bike in the back. My Scion tC has a hatchback and folding seats too and I could easily fit 2 or 3 bikes if I really wanted. If you have a lot of space in the back of your car then I would absolutely recommend a regular bike—you can get all the features you want at an overall better value.

We used a Bell child's trailer for a while. It has a clamp that screwed onto the chainstay. Didn't require any hardware mounted on the bike itself.
You can most definitely put a rear rack with panniers on a fixed gear.
I have no direct experience with front racks (I have this basket on my grocery getter/tailgating bike) but the guides/wikis on /r/bicycletouring or /r/bikecommuting might guide you in the right direction there. I was just curious as to why you were looking to buck the trend of other commuters.
