Why is it 'syn' and not 'synem'? Does the fact that 'to' is present change the casing, even though 'jest' normally requires the instrumental form?

Yes. "To" before "jest" changes the cases from instrumental to nominative. It is also the word that does not require "jest" so "to mój syn" is also correct.

Sorry, what's the question? There's no 'mojego' here, that's a very simple sentence...

"To jest" is fixed, "to" doesn't change with gender in this construction.
