Not all of these forms can be filed online. For example, I-485 cannot be filed online. So many lawyers would file all forms together on paper. Regular people do a mix, but in my opinion it complicates things a bit.

How much it cost to file all these forms

Tons of money. It also depends whether you file some forms electronically or everything on paper, some forms are optional as I stated above.

 

Fee calculator can be found here https://www.uscis.gov/feecalculator

Are you not familiar with uscis.gov? If not, time to get very familiar because it has fee calculator and the list of filing fees - https://www.uscis.gov/forms/filing-fees

Paper check payments are no longer accepted by USCIS!

 

You are right, I-130A is not needed for child

It’s not just yourself and who you’re petitioning, this link has details of who you need to include. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/i-864-affidavit-faqs.html#aos6 Looks as though your spouse petitioned parents fairly recently? So they need to be included too. 

 

When does your NIV expire? Remember that being married to a USC doesn’t confer any right to stay in the US on its own, and it’ll take a while to get your green card, so do file in plenty of time. 
 

Also, if you started completing the forms a few months ago do check none of them have been updated since then. 
 

Good luck.
