The Cedar Top is made in China while the Spruce is Indonesia although no difference in quality, Frets were great out of the box.
I preferred the Cedar. Really nice warm tone. Sounds great strumming or fingerpicking with stock Fender strings. The dimensions are slightly different. The Black Spruce was more traditional Concert size while the Cedar from Adorama has a slightly larger rear bout but less depth. The less depth on the Cedar was more comfortable. The Cedar also has a Tusq-like material for the saddle and nut while the Spruce had plastic. This also explained why the Cedar sounded better.
I have many guitars and this little baby is my #1 acoustic to pick up when inspired. I also have a Martin Dread, which has the Big sound I need for performing & recording.
rock on,

3/4 size, either acoustic (Yamaha Jr1 or Jr2) or electric (Squier Mini Stratocaster). Change the strings to extra light (acoustic: D'Addario EJ10... electric: Ernie Ball super slinky). Ask their guitar instructor to do it and hopefully they can set it up (adjust neck and saddle, among other things) properly... but don't blame them if they can't because it's not a particularly easy thing to do. Find a local luthier (guitar technician) to do it.
You can sometimes get away with replacing steel strings with nylon, but guitars are built around having a certain string tension.
It seems to be. Anything with a solid top is a good place to start, however, all new guitars will require a "setup" upon receipt. Just take it to your local guitar shop and ask them for a "setup" to make it easier to play. Good luck!

Some players report that coated strings (Elixir, etc.) are easier on the fingers. I personally think it's just something new players will have to work through. A couple of weeks of regular practice will build up calluses and accustom the player to the sensation.
The action was a bit low and causing fret buzz, and the intonation is slightly off. It's currently at the shop for a setup, but I don't regret the purchase at all. It's a good cheap guitar to have out in the open around the house. I plan to hang it on the wall, and people can grab it and play it without worrying about it.
This is the recommended Fender case (costs almost as much as the guitar). I haven't been able to find a reliable gig bag match, and it's been difficult to verify the fit of third-party products.

Do they want acoustic or electric? The old school thought was to teach only acoustic first. However, if they kid wants to play electric, then choose the guitar they are most likely to want to play. The electric will be easier to play.
You could try one of the slightly shorter scale electrics (if that's what they want). Maybe an Ibanez Mikro [sweetwater.com]?
