Wouldn't that be a reason to sway them away from the grimm life, rather than encouraging them to participate?

A combination so rare that for all we know, he could be the first. Groups like the Royal family or Black Claw may always have designs on these children, no matter where they go.
The way I understand it, there is no Black Claw. However, I don't think grimms or hexenbiests would look kindly on a grimm/hexenbiest hybrid. I'm not so sure Kelly has grimm powers, but I would suspect if he does, they would be considerably weakened by the zauerbiest part of him. So Nick's enemies might look upon him as a way to get revenge on his father.

Why would she be alone in trying to save them?

Both mean a great deal to him. And both sides rely on the other, in order for him to be the best at what he does. Certainly he knows less about being a Grimm, but it's a learning process. So much of the Wesen world and Grimm history is steeped in mystery and obscured by the mists of time. But he's miles away from where he started. At the end, he's fully aware of what that legacy represents.
That's only because you see the grimm legacy as something good. But is it really? Consider this. Nick has no time honored procedures to follow as a grimm. You said he's learning. Learning from whom? He's freed wesen and killed wesen. He considers himself judge, jury and executioner. He's not above torture to get what he wants.
Law enforcement officers take an oath to protect the public. That doesn't mean just humans, it means everyone.

This question has come up so often. I always wonder why.

So many of Nick's cases would have gone unsolved or ended more tragically had Nick not been both cop and Grimm. The Grimm may not have a governing body, but their judgement and sense of morality is the final arbiter of justice on that side of the fence. And with the council in disarray, he's needed more than ever. In many ways, Wesen society is the Wild West. It's too culturally divisive and mercurial to ever have an all encompassing form of jurisprudence. And the Wesen secret must be protected, because it would be anarchy if it were ever widely known. Nick, maybe more than any Grimm before him, is in a perfect position to maintain that balance. His work is important. Not least of which, because he may be changing the future by ushering in a new methodology. He doesn't need to know everything about the Grimm and the things they've done, to see what they might be able to become.
It's my belief that the vast majority of wesen that are in Portland immigrated to the US because they hold the same beliefs as their human peers. In other words, they appreciate the freedoms that the US offers but at the same time respect that there is a law in place.
Nick isn't really needed and he certainly doesn't maintain any balance. It would be illogical not to mention unbelievable to think that human law enforcement isn't able to apprehend and incarcerate wesen.

That is old enough to ignore his mother and be able protect himself but it very likely he is danger his whole childhood. Teenage wesen will know his family and the triplets but he will not be able to see them woge.
I don't know why, but I was getting the impression that Kelly hadn't turned into a grimm yet. His heritage would seem to suggest that he hadn't bloomed. His father was a late bloomer and he is of mixed heritage, which might mean he may not ever become a grimm.
The best way to frustrate a cyberbully is to ignore him.
