I think at your age you should be studying and trying to learn as much as you can. When your professional life begins, you won't have a lot of available time to invest in knowledge as you have today. Study a lot, learn different languages, technology systems, develop your soft skills, creativity and then you should invest your time to find a job. If you clim each step at a time you will have a solid career in the future.

I'm sure there are jobs that a 13 year could adequately get online but they're not worth your time unless they contribute to your ultimate career goal that will provide a decent wage and fulfillment. If you're under stress to provide for yourself and your family, then by all means take a legitimate and safe job online. If you need to get some extra pocket money on the side, consider a paid internship with a company you admire or a field you have interest in for the future.

Yes. There are multiple options available online. It could be as simple as online surveying jobs that allow you to earn cash for answering to an hour long survey (use anonymous profile to protect against scam surveys), data entry (depends on your interest), Website or Application beta tester (test website and apps for usability), search engine evaluator (examine internet search results) and proof reading (spot for typos or errors in text. often requires taking some test)
However, I would recommend you doing these on a part time basis and focus more on increasing your skill set. All of the jobs above will pay you but the pay will be below average. For the same amount of time and with more skills you will definitely earn more.
Start with exploring above (at https://www.thebalancecareers.com/online-jobs-little-or-no-experience-3542266) but also look at sites like cloudera to increase the skill set to ensure future success.

I am sure there are opportunities to work on online jobs and make some money. I am not sure though if it is legal to do so in many countries. Most companies may not allow you to work until you are 14 or 15. Check your local government regulations. There are jobs in various web based companies to maintain the data they collect, review the data, update the data etc. But I am sure all of them follow local government laws.
Every family situation is different, financially. But my recommendation to you is to work on "Learning" - school/studies/self learning on the field that interests you more and gain experience at your age.
Learning new things is more valuable than earning money! Knowledge is a huge "Capital" that will compound over time and makes you lot more "richer (monetarily)" down the road.
