What is the ruling behind praying in a masjid that prays 40 degrees of the Qiblah? Salah is valid or not?

I will be getting married to a revert man who has two children from his previous marriage while he was still a Hindu with a Muslim woman. Their marriage was a civil marriage as he did not convert. They get divorced and the two children are with the mother. My concern is are these two children (a boy and a girl) considered his children or illegitimate? Is he responsible for the two children? And if I were to marry him, this revert man, is his son a mahram to me? Can we stay under one roof? What about his daughter? Is he a mahram to her? If I were to have children with him in future what are the relations between my children and his children? Please help me to clear my doubts. I do not want to live in sin.

I made tawba a long time ago to never do a certain sin again, and I made duaa and said if I do the sin again, then I ask Allah to take me out of Islam. I now understand that I should have never made that duaa, but my question is that I repeated the sin again and I continue to repeat it. Does doing this sin make me a kafir because I’ve done it more than once and continue to do it even after I made duaa that Allah takes me out of islam if I do it again?
