Note that the listed age groups represent the age as of last September 1st (start of the school year), so most of the top performers have an actual age 1 higher than the nominal upper limit of their age group.

Are these world records for their respective age groups?

The 20.89 is; the 23.46 would be if not for the +2.2 wind.

I haven't found a direct source for her exact age, but according to this 2016 article she was 10 years old when she ran at the 2014 CUT meet in Trinidad (which took place in late July), so if she isn't 13 yet she'll be 13 within the next 4 months.
