Family share & watch for the kid

A few questions. When a parents phone is setup with family share with a watch for the kid do phone calls to the phone go to the watch? Does the watch have a separate phone number?

apple watch with a different phone number I know watches get a number so they can share a line with a pairing phone but in this case I want to pair my sons watch with his dad’s phone (he doesn’t have a apple watch) with his own different number (watch has cellular) so can has access to apps that are not available under family sharing. can i do that? i called apple support twice and seems like we don’t understand each other? one told me to call the app developer -{ thanks

apple watch family member still difficult to get a definitive answer: noting the family member share setup option for apple watch with their apple ID, can I call or message the person directly on their apple watch SE, and can they call or txt me when the watch is paired with my phone? the concern is that: if the family member apple watch is paired with my iphone/number will the watch receive all incoming calls or txts intended for my phone/number even if the watch is set up with a separate apple ID? with the apple watch set up on a different apple ID, will my child still be able to use apps purchased/down loaded on my apple ID? can you please provide or link a list of "frequently asked questions" regarding the practicality of purchasing an apple watch SE for a child, in leu of a phone.
