Welcome
I think you are correct to be concerned given the dogs behavior. The dog may not like the attention being given to the child. Definitely dont put the child on the floor with the dog so he thinks he's dominant. I do find it a little odd since ive seen dogs like small children..I'll post those pictures. Put a leash on the dog while around the child so you can grab it. Perhaps leave some child clothing with the dog so he gets accustomed to the scent. Bottom line given what you've described be extremely careful. My beagle was curious but always gentle including the rottweiler.

Perhaps when visiting bring one of those pop up playpens to put your child in to be separated from the dog..
