Yes it's capped at 50p less than the cost of a one day travel card for the zones you use.
You won't get free travel for your son on the tube - only buses and trams. The age limit is 10.

The cheapest way would be for you to buy an off-peak travelcard instead of Oyster (so no 50p discount) - but you would be able to buy a £1 ticket for your son rather than him having to pay adult fare or going to the bother of getting a child rate photocard for him.0 -
We took our 11 year old with us to London last week. Hubby bought his £1 Travelcard and had to queue up at a tube station to buy it - it's no longer available from machines as too many adults were using this as a loophole to get all day travel around London for £1.0
