As far as I can tell no-one is sure, apart from the fact that she was one of his followers. It is commonly believed that she was the woman who poured perfume over his feet, and dried them with her hair.
However, as far as the second part goes, he definitely didn't have any children. He did not marry, as that would have been known to people, and mentioned, and He was known to be sinless

Mary M was Jesus's legitmate wife and mother of at least one child by him. Had she not been, his claim to be the King of the Jews would not have been legitimate and James his brother would have ascended after the crucifixion. At the time there were no political impediments to do so quietly or to move east to Jewish communities in Syria or Asia or west to Ethiopia. Since he didn't, Jesus must have produced an heir.
That Jesus's claim to be the real legitimate King of the Jews was authentic rather than metaphoric or symbolic, as christians claim, all you need to do is look in the bible where the lineages of both his parents are given to show his royal descent.
Note that the Scriptures are absolutely silent on the question of both marriage and children regarding Jesus, just as they are regarding whether he preferred dogs or cats, or pizza or tacos. To assume that no mention is equivalent to proof one way or another is a falacy. What wan't relevant, wasn't mentioned.

With all due respect to the first person to reply, he is talking about the Virgin Mary, the earthly mother of Jesus. Mary Magdalene, someone else entirely, did follow Jesus on the earth. Remember that He cast seven demons out of her, so no wonder she loved Him! You can find all the references to her at http://www.blueletterbible.org
When you get there, type in "magdale*" and you'll receive all the references to her in the Bible.
Second question: no, Jesus never had a child, according to the Scriptures.

She was a blessed sister in the Faith, just as I am, and, no, Jesus didn't have a child while upon this earth except for sharing the children with God. :)

God revealed about Prophet Jesus, peace be upon him, in the Quran and Virgin Mary, his mother:
Chapter 3
42. Behold! the angels said: "O Mary! Allah hath chosen thee and purified thee- chosen thee above the women of all nations.
43. "O Mary! worship Thy Lord devoutly: Prostrate thyself, and bow down (in prayer) with those who bow down."
44. This is part of the tidings of the things unseen, which We reveal unto thee (O Messenger.) by inspiration: Thou wast not with them when they cast lots with arrows, as to which of them should be charged with the care of Mary: Nor wast thou with them when they disputed (the point).
45. Behold! the angels said: "O Mary! Allah giveth thee glad tidings of a Word from Him: his name will be Christ Jesus, the son of Mary, held in honour in this world and the Hereafter and of (the company of) those nearest to Allah.
46. "He shall speak to the people in childhood and in maturity. And he shall be (of the company) of the righteous."
47. She said: "O my Lord! How shall I have a son when no man hath touched me?" He said: "Even so: Allah createth what He willeth: When He hath decreed a plan, He but saith to it, 'Be,' and it is!
48. "And Allah will teach him the Book and Wisdom, the Law and the Gospel,
49. "And (appoint him) an apostle to the Children of Israel, (with this message): "'I have come to you, with a Sign from your Lord, in that I make for you out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, and breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by Allah.s leave: And I heal those born blind, and the lepers, and I quicken the dead, by Allah.s leave; and I declare to you what ye eat, and what ye store in your houses. Surely therein is a Sign for you if ye did believe;
50. "'(I have come to you), to attest the Law which was before me. And to make lawful to you part of what was (Before) forbidden to you; I have come to you with a Sign from your Lord. So fear Allah, and obey me.
51. "'It is Allah Who is my Lord and your Lord; then worship Him. This is a Way that is straight.'"
52. When Jesus found Unbelief on their part He said: "Who will be My helpers to (the work of) Allah." Said the disciples: "We are Allah.s helpers: We believe in Allah, and do thou bear witness that we are Muslims.
53. "Our Lord! we believe in what Thou hast revealed, and we follow the Messenger. then write us down among those who bear witness."
54. And (the unbelievers) plotted and planned, and Allah too planned, and the best of planners is Allah.
55. Behold! Allah said: "O Jesus! I will take thee and raise thee to Myself and clear thee (of the falsehoods) of those who blaspheme; I will make those who follow thee superior to those who reject faith, to the Day of Resurrection: Then shall ye all return unto me, and I will judge between you of the matters wherein ye dispute.
56. "As to those who reject faith, I will punish them with terrible agony in this world and in the Hereafter, nor will they have anyone to help."
57. "As to those who believe and work righteousness, Allah will pay them (in full) their reward; but Allah loveth not those who do wrong."
58. "This is what we rehearse unto thee of the Signs and the Message of Wisdom."
59. The similitude of Jesus before Allah is as that of Adam; He created him from dust, then said to him: "Be". And he was.
60. The Truth (comes) from Allah alone; so be not of those who doubt.
61. If any one disputes in this matter with thee, now after (full) knowledge Hath come to thee, say: "Come! let us gather together,- our sons and your sons, our women and your women, ourselves and yourselves: Then let us earnestly pray, and invoke the curse of Allah on those who lie!"
62. This is the true account: There is no god except Allah. and Allah.He is indeed the Exalted in Power, the Wise.
63. But if they turn back, Allah hath full knowledge of those who do mischief.
64. Say: "O People of the Book! come to common terms as between us and you: That we worship none but Allah. that we associate no partners with him; that we erect not, from among ourselves, Lords and patrons other than Allah." If then they turn back, say ye: "Bear witness that we (at least) are Muslims (bowing to Allah.s Will).
