If the cost of a deluxe sleeper is RMB 921/person for adults, how much will it be for kids? If it's helpful, I think the price for a 2nd class seat is RMB 327.

Also, the kids are 123-125cm tall, slightly over the 120 cm threshold for a free children's ticket (still not sure that the discount applies to)...will the cabin conductor actually measure them and surcharge us if we buy tickets based on the 120 cm children's pricing and vs the 50% 120-150cm children's rate?

Also, is there free wifi on these trains, and if so, is it any good?
I am not how kids pricing works with deluxe sleepers, but I think your 921 seems about 30 higher than the official fare (not a big deal of course; just sayin' you might not be using the most reliable source).

As for Wifi, the answer is "no". However, 4g works --just-- okay.
