Two Lads And Yitzchak His Son

ויקח את שני נעריו אתו ואת יצחק בנו - The pasuk says that Avraham took two lads with him [important people need accompaniment - Rashi] and Yitzchak his son. 

Two huge questions I had: 

1] Shouldn't Yitzchak be mentioned first?? He is far more prominent in the story than the two lads?

2] Didn't we sort of know at this point that Yitzchak is his son???
