Evan,
In order to be a good dad to your son, you first must get your life together. Go to college, trade school, whatever, and start on your path to being a responsible adult. (not saying you are irresponsible)
You should not be feeling guilt over her having another child, you are assuming she has raised that child by herself. You are also assuming she has not gone on with her life and met or married another man.
You yourself state that you don't know her very well. She was 28 to your 19. It almost sounds like you were taken advantage of.

Yes, it IS irrational to pull up stakes and move cross country when you don't have a job lined up and you don't even know if she wants you to be a part of her and your child's life.

This is my advice to you. Get YOUR life together before you try to enter your sons life. In the meantime, you can set up a trust fund or college fund for him, contribute to it each month knowing that one day it will be going to him.
Lastly, give yourself a break. It is not many men that would want to do what you are wanting to do. You might even change your mind in a few years. You sound like a guy who wants to do the right thing. But you MUST take care of yourself first, or you will be worthless to your child.
