Lets say Grandma was born in China, to a Chinese couple. She marries an American and comes to the USA. She has a child here (with the American). Is this child American, Chinese, or both in Citizenship? Now this child has a child with an American, here in the USA. What citizenship does this third generation have?

Anyone born in the US is a US citizen. If your parent's are vacationing in the US from China, and they give birth, you are automatically a US citizen. Many people around the world have duel citizenship because of that. It is why quite a few illegals come here and try to have their child here, because the child automatically gains citizenship.
In your little scenario, the child born between the Chinese woman and the American, is an American citizen. Her child, and American citizen had a child with another American citizen. That makes the kid 100% American.

If a child is born in the USA, he is a citizen. The citizenship of his parents DOES NOT MATTER. Period.
