When can one rely on a קטן to perform Shechita on an animal?

The ר”ן asks a contradiction to our Gemara from the Mishna חולין דף ב and גמרא חולין דף מב עמוד ב which says that one may not give animals to a child to slaughter and only in the event that he did slaughter correctly as an adult was supervising may it be eaten?
The Ran reconciles the contradiction and explains that the Gemara in Chulin is dealing with a child who is unskilled at slaughtering therefore he may not be given animals to slaughter lest an error will result however our Gemara is dealing with a trained skilled minor and he may be given animals to slaughter as long as there is an adult supervising.

Major Question:
See Chidushei Rebbe Akiva Eiger who asks; The melacha of carrying on Shabbos needs three components – Akira, Hotzoa Mreshus lreshus, and Hanacha. At the moment of the Akira the person had not yet performed the mitzvah of daled minim so that segment even if he fulfilled the mitzvah before carrying them out of the house the person should still be exempt from the korban as he was involved in the mitzvah at the time of the akira?
Learn the רש”ש דף מב (first half – until the brackets) who answers Rebbe Akiva Eiger question with a major chidush as to the minimum act required to fulfill the mitzvah of Daled Minim.

See תוספת דף לט “עובר (towards the end of Tosfos) who learns from our gemara that one can make a bracha on the Daled Minim as long as it was still in ones hands.
Additional maareh mekomos on Sugya: How much is one required to pay to perform a Mitzvah
Chakirah:
What’s the למדות why one doesn’t need to spend more than 20% of his assets to perform a מצות עשה?
A) Because he’s considered an אונס, or
B) Because one is not obligated in the mitzvah but not the Torah doesn’t obligate him to spend such a large percentage of his money.
See אגרות משה יורה דעה סימן קמה starting from paragraph “והנה”
