If one of the parent is naturalized citizen, can one apply for certificate of citizenship(COC) for a minor child while the child is physically not present in United States? Can the COC be obtained through US Embassy overseas? Can the US passport be obtained through US Embassy overseas? Child is LPR, has maintained continuous residence for 5 yrs in United States and has gone to overseas for less than six months.

If one of the parent is naturalized Citizen of United States, can one apply for US passport here in United States for a minor child while the child is temporarily living abroad as a LPR (less than six months since left US)

How does naturalized USC, obtain USC for a minor child living abroad?
 
What about the other parent?
Is he or she alive?
Is he or she a US citizen?
Where do both parents reside?
Any of the parents live with the child?
Who exactly? The US citizen one or not?

Nope. Only a US citizen older than 16 can apply for a US passport while not being physically present in the US.

The child should be in the legal and physical custody of US citizen parent. That is the requirement the child needs to satisfy.
 
When USC parent moves overseas and starts living with a minor child, can such parent apply for USC for a minor child while staying abroad? If yes how? Through US Embassy?

When the custody requirements are satisfied and if the child is still US permanent resident by that time (the child could be seen as abandoned GC by that time for living permenently abroad), the child becomes USC. That is an automatic event, and it does not require any application.
Then form N-600 could be sent to get certificate of citizenship.

If you were overseas where would you send in form N-600? to USCIS or you will submit the form to nearest US embassy ? And will USCIS mail the certificate of citizenship overseas?
 
Consult the nearest consulate or USCIS office overseas where to file.

You need to know the intent of a minor child under 16 (to live permanently in the US) is the average of intents of his parents'. If his US parent moves to overseas permanently, the average of the parents moves towards the child living permanently abroad. And the child could lose GC instead of becoming USC.
