For your fiance, you can either petition her for a K-1 fiance visa to come to the US and marry, or you can marry her first and then petition her for an immigrant visa as a spouse.

For your child, she is almost certainly a US citizen. Specifically, you had to have been a citizen when she was born, and you must have been physically present in the US in any status before her birth for a cumulative total of 5 years, including 2 years after you turned 14. Since you naturalized, you almost certainly have spent more than 5 years in the US. Since she is born out of wedlock to an American father, you need to agree to some additional things before she turns 18 in order for her to be a US citizen, but that will be satisfied in the process of applying for her CRBA. Basically, you would apply for a CRBA and US passport for her.
