If your baby is French, then he would need a French passport to travel.

I doubt anyone here would know about Senegalese nationality laws...maybe visit the website of the Senegalese embasssy in London and ask them if the baby is a dual French-Senegalese citizen. If so, s/he would need a Senegalese passport to enter Senegal.

If not a Senegalese citizen, s/he would be travelling as a French citizen, and does not need a visa.

Apply for a senegalese passport, then ask your wife/husband to make an appointment with the HO for the residence certificate for themselves and/or the baby. EEA1 applications can be made in person (by appointments only).

Yes, that is the correct application form. Your spouse is French, so is your child. Your spouse could apply for a residence certificate for themselves putting a child as a dependant (since the child is EEA family member).
