Can I record an old record into Ableton and split the track at various intervals and sample on the pads over a hip hop beat?

That question is specific to Ableton, yes it's possible but you have to gain the relevant skills in Ableton first to be able to slice a sample and play it back on this device. You can't do both functions (clip launch and midi input) simultaneously so I'd suggest a midi keyboard to play your slices

My son is 11 and wants this..do you think its suitable for beginners and easy enough to set up without parents input!! I havent a clue!! .thanks

It connects with plug and play and comes with some free software called Ableton Lite which the controller is designed to link to seemlessly. Ableton comes with built in lessons, so your son should be okay. It's not as simple as Lego, but also not as hard as rocket science. Your son should be fine
